Fred talks about a five/six year timespan having been good. That's about the lifespan of a VC fund.

The burst will be caused by a tightening in VC spending, and I think poor returns on funds raised five years ago will cause this.

This makes sense - IPOs have been slim, and LPs must be getting edgy. I partly wonder if the 'rise of the superangel' is in fact the 'departure of the VC' (from certain types of deal)
