Re: Startup, clean tech bubble?
perhaps a bit of an urge to swing for the fences/gamble to make up for losses / lost opportunity of the past few years = riskier outlook but with perhaps bigger gain, should a real game changer lift off?Originally posted by mooncliff View Post

Re: Startup, clean tech bubble?
Check out the pie charts towards the bottom. Illinois was part of the "Other" that made up 7% of the entire "VC Investment in Internet (2010)" but jumped to #2 in Q1 2011 at 22% on the next chart. What on earth made this happen, and why would anyone invest in Illinois?Comment
