In my Angel discussion last week, I discussed the slow-down in angel investing in 2007, presaging if not anticipating the slow-down in the financial markets this year. Apparently, while following more cautious principles than in the internet hay-days, the professional investing markets are looking forward, and making investments in selected sectors. As discussed in James Flanigan's Entrepreneurial Edge article today, equity capital is available for the right story.
One sector discussed is mobile communication devices and related software. This is clearly a growing industry in the US and something that will need continued investment. It promises solid returns for early investors, and the professional investment firms, including private equity and venture capitalists are focusing here. Likewise, "green" technologies are getting favorable attention.
So it does seem that it's harder to raise debt these days, ergo , if you have a candidate do seek out the professionals (as long as you have a technology or "green" startup, that is)!
