Return of Corporate Venture Investors
Two data points make a trend, so I'm intrigued about the re-emergence of corporate venture groups after a long dormancy. Yesterday I heard about a new group out of Canwest, and today I was sent a link about a new venture investing group at, of all places, Best Buy. Ordinarily the arrival, en masse, of corporate venture investors marks a near term top in the venture market, but it's hard to have a top when returns have been bumbling along the bottom for so long.
