U.S. venture investment slides in 2016, startup appetite for this year: Reuters
U.S. venture capital investment continued its slide in the fourth quarter of last year, rounding out a restrained year in startup financing, but not the collapse many had feared, Reuters reported. Investments in venture-backed companies in the United States fell 16 percent to US$11.7 billion from the previous quarter. That was 19 percent below the same period the year before and marked a three-year quarterly low, according to the latest MoneyTree Report from PricewaterhouseCoopers and CB Insights. The decline ended a calmer year after venture capital reached fever pitch in 2015, driving valuations to record levels and raising concerns about another Silicon Valley bubble.
