(Founder Stories) Ben Lerer On The Startup Gold Rush

ben lererAs�Chris Dixon�wraps his conversation with�Thrillist�co-founder and�Lerer Ventures�partner�Ben Lerer, Lerer offers his assessment of the present day start-up environment. From his perspective it is a mixed bag. (Note: this was taped before the most recent financial meltdown) "Since we started investing, we've seen a lot more money enter the market . . . so it's tougher to be a seed stage investor because valuations are going up." �However, Lerer continues "the advantage for us is that there is more money at the Series A stage and so more of our companies are given a chance to go on and continue."
