What's going on with the startup world at the moment? I've been closing transactions for many startups in my legal career but what I'm noticing at the moment is what I've only heard of the past. Some of my friends who work in the PE/VC and Angel funds say they are not getting money from the investors. What they've been saying is, there's a trend going on among the investors that instead of giving money to the funds/fund managers, the investors are looking opportunities to invest by themselves. Such down trend of flow of money to the funds may lead to the recently created PE/VC, Angel funds in India. More like "Ye to shuru hote hi khatam ho gaya". On one side we were hoping to become another Silicon Valley and on the other side, we're seeing downfall of the trust fsctor within the funds.

"Ye to shuru hote hi khatam ho gaya" line is pretty brutal but rings true for a lot of these newer, inexperienced Indian funds if the money really dries up.

The startup funding landscape definitely seems to be going through a rough patch right now. Investors getting more cautious with their money is never a good sign.
