Whats the VC breakdown in Ireland

Fergus Burns 25th of July 2006 by Fergus Burns

SiliconBeat has a piece on how Venture capitalists are going nutty over Web 2.0 companies, pouring $870 million into these companies during the first three months of the year.

Compare that with the Irish VC investment scene [due to get €200m from the Govt] - which has ZERO web2.0 investments to date.

What problems do we face

- number of investable project
- lack of risk with Irish VCs
- Internet “bubble” notions

Its not as if we haven’t had success with internet exits
