Number of IT venture deals drops to a 10-year low
Thanks to the current economic crisis, venture capitalists have pulled back sharply on their investments in U.S.-based tech companies. According to a report due this weekend by Dow Jones VentureSource, only 270 IT-related deals were completed in the third quarter. This represents a 21 percent drop from the 342 deals in the same quarter just a year ago.

Many are concerned about the drop in investments because the venture industry has traditionally been somewhat insulated from the broader economy.
