VentureBeat: Google tiptoes into venture capital

  • Alex Grogan · 2 years ago
    Fledgling companies in the MidWest, USA have too few avenues for financial support.

    Let's keep it real, it means less taxes to pay.

    You think? Not likely, with such small dollar amounts. Unless they've created some special tax-evading vehicle to do this. But haven't seen any evidence of that.

    Perhaps Matt, I guess my point was more along the lines of my first sentence.

    India carries more PR brownie points, I suppose. Midwest is not sexy enough.

    I'm not so terribly sure about positive PR points from US sources when it comes to spending money overseas instead of in the Google's own back yard.

    Seed funds and VC firms are pretty new in india and start-ups were rising money in treditional way of fund rising. Hope this move will contribute some more action to the innovation front in the region.

    PR? Well - What we got here is failure to communicate :-)
    Indian VC investments are the 'in-thing' or 'trend' in vc now!
