Year In Review
Mark Heeson, president of the National Venture Capital Association, opened
the 2005 Year In Review meeting with an overview of the industry. He says
although the belief was that after the bubble there would be a dramatic
reduction in venture capital firms, this has not happened: as of 2004, the
number of firms was the same as in 2001. However, the industry has seen a
decrease of about 10% in the number of venture capitalists themselves.
