"Anecdotally we are hearing that fundraising activity is
accelerating as more firms that were waiting for economic recovery
are beginning to formally seek commitments," said Mark Heesen,
president of the NVCA. "The reality, however, is that many limited
partners are still determining their long term strategies in wake
of the past year's financial crisis and that slows the process down
considerably. We expect commitment levels to remain modest for the
remainder of 2009 with gradual increases beginning in 2010." There
were four new funds and 13 follow-on funds raised in the third
quarter of 2009, a ratio of about 3-to-1 of follow-on to new funds.
The largest new fund reporting commitments during the third quarter
was Andreessen Horowitz Fund I, L.P, which raised $58.5 million in
its inaugural fund. A "new" fund is defined as the first fund at a
newly established firm, although the general partner of that firm
may have previous experience investing in venture capital. VC
