Changes

The take away from this summary, starting in popular news and "instant analysis" and ending with academia and "professional analysis" is that venture capital, like many other aspects of our world, is difficult to predict in the moment. It is a powerful and volatile industry, with enormous economic potential and high risk. It is an industry that, like we saw in 2016, may seem to be on its death bed one quarter, and breaking records the next. For the policymaker and student of entrepreneurship, heed these words; about the only things you can predict with venture capital are that she's a strong and ever changing mistress, and she's here to stay.
