They didn't invest, but they were professional, up front about their objectives and have made several introductions over the last year or two (in spite of not investing).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So congrats to them on closing a fund at all in this environment. Having one that's 20% smaller given less international expansion and the current environment seems fair to me. And closing one at all speaks to LP confidence.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jeremy Wright</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:14:26 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: VC crunch continued: BlueRun Ventures falls short of $300M target</title><link>http://venturebeat.com/2009/04/23/vc-crunch-continued-bluerun-ventures-falls-short-of-300m-target/#comment-8617254</link><description>&lt;p&gt;this is a great firm and i'm glad they were able to raise $240 which is certainly enough for them to keep going strong.   &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Kim</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:44:42 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
