FundingPost partner, Howie Schwartz, was referenced in the article as follows- ‘Many sources - including big pension funds, college endowments and, in some cases, high-net-worth individuals - have failed to meet commitments to some funds, making this one of the most challenging environments for venture capital since the dawn of the industry,’ The FundingPost director is then directly quoted 'No one is admitting this,
but we're seeing it anecdotally'.
In reference to the subject matter in the article, FundingPost Director Joe Rubin adds- 'While funding is down overall, there’s still opportunities for a well organized company with vision, a solid plan, and strong infrastructure."
