Agreed. This will be very interesting. I hope it doesn’t settle so that we get to see “the end.”

Mendelson's Musings : What's The Value Of My Startup?

If you are talking about 409(a) valuations (tax) or FAS 157 valuations (audit), then yes. But if you are asking about valuing startups in relationship to a financing, then no. There are no firms that a VC would trust to set the price. If you are talking accounting, email me (http://www.foundrygroup.com/team/jasonMendelson.p.../>

I guess they didn’t like having their artists (Coldplay) portrayed in that manner and now are becoming aggressive.

Sigh….

Absolutely. Imagine being able to “see” and manipulate deal docs on several different surfaces instead of dense 2 dimensional screens.

Ms. Sachs, a pleasure to “meet” you. Yes, you are right the cost can be extreme, but for the quality it was still something that I’d highly recommend.

Hopefully one day your son will be so successful that he can treat you on a regular basis.

Mendelson's Musings : How Does The Market Craziness Affect Venture Capitalists and Startups?

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 09:46:23 +0000

Remember, VCs don’t get all their money up front. They have commitments from their investors to give them money in the future, so the money isn’t lying around doing nothing, rather the money is still in the banks of the investors. There are not funds to “freeze” rather the question is whether or not they will just stop investing because of the current market and not call those funds from their investors. We’ll see, but if history is a guide, my guess is that fundings decrease.

I hope that you are correct – sincerely, but if the past is any indication of the future, my bet is big slowdown in that part of the ecosystem.

State street – 1215. I think that was the “in” architecture in the 1920s. J
