Microcap bubble? One data point
There’s been a bit of a brouhaha lately around “super seed” funds and speculation of whether we are experiencing a seed bubble . At least to me, it certainly has felt like there has been a ton of early stage activity, although whether this qualifies as a seed bubble or not, I think it’s too early to tell. But what is apparent is that there is a ton of new microcap firms that have emerged or closed a new fund in the past 6-12 months alone, and it feels like the pace of new microcap firms being funded is only accelerating.
Apocalypse and bubbles
Peter Thiel , entrepreneur, VC, angel, Facebook board member, and hedge fund manager, penned a long and thoughtful piece about the possibility of an impending apocalypse and how that might lead to financial bubbles. It was written in 2008 but I only came across it yesterday (on Hacker News ). He calls it The Optimistic Thought Experiment .
I've spent much of this long weekend curled up on the couch reading Too Big To Fail , Andrew Ross Sorkin 's history of the financial crisis of 2008.
