American Venture Capital: Venture Capital Market

Cautious Optimism Dept: Yet, talking to the people behind some of Atlantic Canada s small startup companies, you wouldn t know that they stand on the edge of the abyss, according to The Chronicle Herald. "Venture capital is coming back here quicker than in other areas," Robert Niven, president of Halifax-based CarbonCure Technologies Inc., said Monday and stock markets are in turmoil; the North American venture capital market has dried up; the global economy could be on the brink of collapse. If anything, the prevailing mood at Invest Atlantic, a Halifax forum that focused on how companies looking to grow can raise equity capital, was cautious optimism, not deep-seated gloom.
