Applied Tech Investing

Interesting piece on building VC communities. What struck me most was the thought somewhere down the page that:

First, technology VC is moving from turning science into products (core tech investing) to turning technology into businesses (applied tech investing). That's a trend that started 10 years ago but is now gaining steam across the technology and venture capital industries. In the emerging new world of technology, being located in Silicon Valley and Boston is less of an advantage and we are seeing more early stage venture capitalists locating themselves in places like NYC, Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Seattle, and a host of other business centers that have not been on the venture capital map until recently.


Add Russia to that list.
