Naar een nieuw innovatie-ecosysteem
- OPINIE VAN GEORGES VAN HOEGAERDEN
6-9-2010 - Venture capital wereld
I have talked and written for a while now (5 years or so) about the impending demise of Venture Capital (not innovation) before the numbers proved the same, and recently with plenty of “hard“ trailing evidence (with VC even producing negative returns according to Thomson Reuters) that finally makes the economists who serve the Limited Partners pay attention, the need for me to reiterate those points is starting to subside.
Another way of saying the same is that at age 47 I don\'t want to spend too much of my time waddling in negativity, unless I am tickled.
Letting go of the old
Barring of course any blatant nonsense Venture Capitalists keep spreading to affirm their protectionist stance while raising another fund from Limited Partners who still don\'t get that the problems in Venture are full attributable to its self-induced dysfunctional arbitrage. I have and may continue to rebut some of the VC arguments just to ensure not too many entrepreneurs get trapped in their unholy “religion“.
Ringing in the new
So based on that timing, I have decided from now on to focus a majority of my writings (my thinking switched a long time ago) to a solutions driven approach to Venture and leave the participants of the existing Venture ecosystem alone with their “self-induced indigestion“.
