VC Bubble Turning Japanese

January 27, 2012 by Andrew Carraway

VC Bubble? If you’re an American with an eye to VC activity, you may be pondering the possibility of an impending venture capital bubble. If you are, you’ve got company–from across the Pacific.

@naoki0423 asks in English, “Dot-com Bubble Again?” His Japanese version is similar, according to Google Translate. The Tweeter appears to have gotten his information from the CB Insights’ 2011 Venture Capital Activity Report. The report relays that venture capital activity hit a 10-year high in 2011, with $30.6 billion invested in VC deals during the year. This level of investment is almost double the 2002 amount. The number of deals commenced in 2011 (3051) is more than double the respective 2002 number (1388). For more details check out the report, which is linked above.
