Yesterday we (Foley Hoag) released our review of Q1 venture activity and deals in New England. Here is the link to Foley Hoag Venture Perspectives. As usual, the numbers are fascinating. A big downward trend in redemption provisions. Why? Perhaps accounting reasons. A topic for another post. Also, a noticeable trend favoring entrepreneurs. Why? Perhaps just the result of an overall improvement in the economy? Series A investments seem stronger than Series B and later. Why? Perhaps because all Series A investments are optimistic whereas at least some later stage deals are not? I will write more on this subject in the next few days.
