venture firm it's easier to raise money than any time i have been in business said david rubenstein of sequoia does not bode well for future returns and then he also skips forward to there has been a ten fold increase in v.c. stage investment by mutual funds and just three years with more than two hundred fifty funds now holding positions in private tech companies so of course this is one of the theories is that like everybody who wants to be invested is already invested more than you like has ever been needed there is an eight billion dollars worth of of of investment opportunity we saw that with i.c.a.o. is people wanted to invest they had some money from their prices going up and they that was they were throwing money at i.c.'s who just had a white paper and there was nothing actually there so this is what he's seeming to suggest is that a lot of these v c's are raising money but there are no opportunities to invest right well i have the same argument about the dow jones when it was trading at around nineteen thousand on the dow jones that the last bear have capitulated so therefore
