this financial diffictulties are in romania too
In the near term it is hard to see these problems getting any better. I think some business angels will be missed, but some will not. We are paying the price for short-termism at the moment and to avoid these problems again we need people who invest to build strong businesses. The current fast buck VC model is not that. I say good riddance!
This is true — in difficult times, strong models survive.
I guess this is right time to pay our respect to Darwin for survival of the fittest.
Ramesh,
hehe… nice segway to Darwin. I am not sure if we should base economic models on ‘nature, red in tooth and claw’, but I do know what you mean. You may be interested in this post reflecting the conditions in the South African VC/investment market. http://www.vinnylingham.com/silicon-cape.html
