"I was (and still am) a registered entrepreneur through this site and managed to set up with the help of someone who liked my proposal. I set up a property company which is beginning to take off thanks to help from this site."

Venture capital funds are on track to surpass 2011’s fundraising totals, according to a Monday report.
At the midyear mark, 82 U.S. venture funds raised $13 billion while 27 European venture funds raised $2.3 billion, a 31 percent and 26 percent increase, respectively, compared with the first half of 2011, Dow Jones LP Source reported.
The number of U.S. venture funds that raised capital surged 12 percent to 82 funds during the first six months versus 73 funds during the same period last year.
Limited partners invested $7.7 billion into 26 multistage funds by midyear, a 35 percent increase. Forty-three early-stage funds raised $3.1 billion, more than double the $1.3 billion raised for 40 funds during the same period last year, Dow Jones reported.
Twelve late-stage venture funds raised $2.1 billion, a 28 percent decline in fundraising versus the first half of 2011. |
