> A recent report from the Kauffman Foundation found that less than 5% of all startup funding comes from venture capitalists, and only 6.5% of high-growth startups take venture funding. However, 37% of companies that had IPOs between 1980 and 2005 had VC funding. Wow, if that's true I'm very shocked by those numbers! To be fair I haven't ever considered the macros of the industry, but perhaps this points out just how much of a bubble (perhaps echo chamber?) I live within!
