Venture capital is something that drives the marketplace of the United States. Without it, most businesses could not get their feet off the ground to make a difference in the marketplace with an amazing product. And because the United States economy has slowed, the market has seen less venture capitalists investing. But the Kansas City Business Journal has reported that

United States venture capital is on the rise again. In the second quarter, venture capitalists have invested about 5 billion dollars in roughly 600 deals. Despite the fact that the figure is about 40 percent lower than a year ago is just fine considering it is about a 30 percent improvement from the first quarter.

Where the industry is seeing a rise in venture capital funding is in healthcare and also information technology. The interesting thing is that this is the first time since records have started that the healthcare industry has been ahead of the information technology industry in venture capital gains.

Another interesting fact that was brought up in the article was that although the state of California is bankrupt, it still leads the venture capital activity for the second quarter. And the state almost always does lead the country’s economy in the number of deals that flow through the nation’s economy.

As far as venture capital goes, it’s not just for the big guys. Small time inventors align them self with firms like Absolutely New to get a piece of the venture capital pie. The company, founded by Steve Barbarich, is a venture capital that is funding consumer products and the patents for them. This company back products that it sees has the most potential to do well in the marketplace. They help small time inventors with their development and protecting their intellectual property.

Who knew that venture capital really makes the world go ‘round.
