I'm at a SV firm (Gunderson, Cooley, Fenwick, Wilson). It's crazy busy right now.

Several native and NYC-satellite offices are hiring 3L's right now, so I guess they figure it'll stay busy for a while.

Ack! So do you not think it'll be possible to take a vaca over New Years? Will end of year crazy bleed into first week of January?
Why wouldn't VC work cool off with interests rates? Just curious.

Not the person who originally brought it up, but my guess is that it's a combination of VCs not needing to lever (unlike, say, PE, which is dependent on borrowing to finance transactions) and the return on equity investments still being solidly above most high grade debt investments (unless interest rates shoot up way beyond a hundred basis points or whatever the fed's next move is) to keep money flowing into new funds.Anonymous User wrote:Why wouldn't VC work cool off with interests rates?

So long as the Facebooks of the world are still buying start-ups for gigantic sums of money, VCs work will keep humming along.
