Venture capital at the corporate planning desk

Abstract

Rumors to the effect that venture capital died in the early 1970s are untrue. It is true, however, that the decline of stock market values has accelerated the flight of risk dollars to other arenas, such as options and commodities. It is similarly true that the number of Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) and venture capital firms has shrunk from over 800 in 1972 to less than 400 in 1978.
