Deals harder to come by, but the money keep on pouring in....

While venture capital fundraising is off this year
(down to 18.8 form 21.3 billion), private equity
money keeps pouring in from the institutions. With
major players Apollo and Carlyle able to build funds
around 10 billion in size, funds raised for private
equity have reached $199 billion. This is $35 billion
more than the same time last year.
Looks like a good time to be a business owner trying to sell to private equity. It also reminds me of the tech bubble where the greatest cash inflows came in the four months before the crash.
