Issue 4 of Young Company Finance (PDF download – 533K) is now available.  There are interesting articles on the Angel Association NZ, TracPlus, Ponoko, (all outfits that we’ve covered before) and Pacific Channel, as well as the ever fascinating list and analysis of private financing deals done this year.

It’s particularly interesting to note that there have only been 15 deals done so far this calendar year, as compared to 27 done in the first half of calendar 2007.

This gives some validation to the assertion that there’s a capital crunch on for startups at the moment.

Young Company Finance is a joint production of NZVCA, NZVIF, and NZTE Escalator.
