Most of the companies Clearstone invests in have angel money. As a VC, I divide angel investors into two buckets. Perhaps they previously started a company in the same industry or were part of a successful company targeting the same market. Better still, these angels typically know the going terms for a start up in their market.

Early stage VCs typically say that the ebbs and flows of the stock market don't effect the valuations they pay in start up financings. So to some extent, entrepreneurs and VCs can comfortably ignore the chaos of currency fluctuations, interest rate changes and other macro finanicial shifts. That may be true. And guess what?

What they are really asking, I think, is "where do VCs get their inspiration about a deal or market space". In my opinion, most of what inspires a VC to get excited about a market comes from rumor, hear say and general media publications. This is one of the reasons so many venture backed deals are flawed from the start.

During the dot com glory days, it was possible for a venture backed company to be formed and go public in 4 years or even less. Of course, many of these businesses were woefully unprepared for public market scrutiny and subsequently failed. That is an issue many VCs and boards, Clearstone Venture Partners included, are wrestling with.
