After three years of steady growth, venture capital investment
retreated 7% in the first quarter, with some 600 companies raising
just shy of $6.8 billion. But that's still a lot of money. One
of the hottest sectors was clean tech, which surged 50%, while
life sciences investments fell by 43%. I invited two venture capitalists
and a researcher from Dow Jones/ VentureSource to break down what
sectors were hot and what was not so far this year.
