The fifth annual Venture View 2011, performed by the National Venture Capital Association in association with Dow Jones VentureSource, made its predictions from surveys completed in December 2010, with more than 500 venture capitalists and VC-based CEOs responding. The survey's overall conclusion was that U.S. venture investment will increase in 2011, according to 51 percent of VCs and 58 percent of CEOs. Twenty-four percent of VCs and 28 percent of CEOs thinks venture investment will stay the same, and 24 percent of VCs and 14 percent of CEOs think venture investments will decrease.
Total U.S. venture investments in 2011 will increase according
to 51 percent of VCs and 58 percent of CEOs.
The biggest investments, and the only areas likely to have "froth" (over-investments), will be in consumer Internet and cloud computing, with 82 percent and 80 percent, respectively, responding that investments will rise.
VC investments in consumer Internet business and cloud computing
(software) will both be boosted over 80 percent in 2011.
Nearly as many respondents were bullish on health care IT, with 77 percent predicting increased venture investments there.
Mobile telecom will also get a boost in venture investments according to 66 percent of the respondents, with 51 percent predicting likewise increased venture investments in SaaS.
The energy sector, on the other hand, did not fare nearly as well, with 40 percent predicting a decrease in venture investments, 22 percent predicting a leveling off and only 38 percent predicting increased venture investments in energy in 2011.
Medical devices were predicted to attract increased venture investments by 35 percent of the respondents, but 35 percent said VC investments will level off, and 30 percent predicted fewer venture investments in medical devices for 2011.
