I wasn't saying that VC are unwilling to invest in the current climate at all. I've actually made five investments in the last 18 months myself. Instead, the post says that there are risk for entrepreneurs in raising money at both too high and too low a valuation, and those risks are different. We do agree on one thing though - congrats to Marc and Gina! Cheers J Hi John,
