Fein Line Post
Mike Feinstein makes an interesting point on his blog about VC compensation and that it how it affects motivation.
The last thing that has to happen is for VC compensation to get more aligned with their investors making money. The 2% fee and 20% carry model can provide too much current income for VCs with little regard to capital loss. That doesn't work for LPs except for well-established funds that have a high likelihood of doing well. In addition to looking for some unique investment strategies, LPs should also look for some innovative compensation models from their venture funds that align everyone's interests more directly.
This is the last paragraph of his post, but the rest is well worth the reading.
Another post with some interesting analysis is Marc Theermann on How Big is the Mobile Publishing Industry. He concludes his analysis with "That brings the total mobile publishing industry pie to $937 million for 2009. "
A helpful post for entrepreneurs looking for money is Don Dodge's post on How to Get Funding from VCs and Angels. Sometimes it is good to have one place to go to get a bunch of basics.
