Comment on The venture capital business in Asia is beginning to rival that in North Americaparent

VC in emerging markets (I come from one, and work with several) tend to be a bit different than that. cost of capital and uncertainty is much higher, so VC funds have to take a lot less risk, only betting in existing and proven business models. That's why you almost never see a really innovative startup from EMs, risk of an EM + risk of a new business model is just too high for most VCs.
