It's not linear! 20 Years of Funding
summary
Panel traces a shift from capital scarcity to abundant seed checks, documents a real growth gap where startups hit tens of millions in revenue and no buyer appears, and cites a near $250 million fund with a $70 million bank anchor as proof that growth capital is scaling. Observations: angels move upstream, VCs write larger late checks, cloud infra lets startups scale without racks, video and mobile spike in usage, and a practical lifeboat test for SaaS customers separates winners from losers.
