The Profit Dynamics Inc. Venture Capital Surveys were conducted during 1998, 1999 and 2000 by contacting over 500 of the most active venture capital companies across the United States by e-mail, fax and postal mail. A total of 250 companies over the three years completed and returned the survey.
While other surveys attempt to answer the questions of how much capital is invested in what industries, what companies and what geographic locations, this survey answers more qualitative questions that are important to entrepreneurs.
