It's an amazing time to be an entrepreneur.
Building a software-based business has never been cheaper. With the tools now at hand -- cloud-based hosting, open-source code, SaaS -- plus the shrinking costs of storage and processing, entrepreneurs can take a product to market today for what it cost to write a software spec 10 years ago.
And never in history have entrepreneurs had more choices for seed-stage funding. Early-stage capital has exploded, with new funds entering the ecosystem and late-stage funds playing earlier in the funding cycle. Indeed – in the last few years we’ve seen strong seed-stage investment activity from funds like Felicis Ventures, FirstMark Capital, FlyBridge Capital Partners, Flywheel Ventures, Formative Ventures, Foundation Capital, Founders Collective, Founders Fund, Foundry Group and fBFund. And those are just some great funds that start with the letter F.
