Billion dollar brains behind the Net

Article Abstract:

Venture capital firms are attracting very strong interest from potential backers of Internet-related companies. Such companies have until recently struggled to raise funds, but venture capital firms are now able to choose between potential backers. Venture capital funds invested $1.84 billion in Silicon Valley in the first quarter of 1999, more than triple the $501 million invested in the year-earlier period. Some observers predict that investment in Internet-related companies will eventually slump, but others anticipate a 5% rise in investment in 2000 and every year for the next five-10 years.
