Dot com boom is back and this time it is dot 2.0 boom!

VentureOne released its official 2nd Quarter liquidity data and facts are undeniable that venture capital funding has reached its peak since 2001. The important thing to notice is that the amount of money getting invested is lesser this time as investors tread cautiously and the blind gold rush has not started yet.

I have compiled my own charts from the data and presented it below, basically I have compared the aggregate of money raised in Q1 and Q2 by Software and Information Services company through 2000 to 2007.

Did anyone notice that software companies are raising significantly lesser amout of money than information services in comparison to 2000?
