Venture Capital a Winner in Dodd-Frank
Venture capital funds were among the big winners in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, signed into law by President Obama last week, possibly giving a boost to a pocket of the deal industry that has struggled even more than most.

Though big banks like Citigroup(C), Bank of America(BAC), Wells Fargo(WFC) and Goldman Sachs(GS) got off easier than many expected would be the case as recently as a few weeks ago, they will still be subject to a host of new restrictions on activities such as derivatives trading, private equity investing, and charges they assess to merchants for credit card transactions.

Many of those restrictions emanate from the fact that these financial giants enjoy government support in the form of cheap loans from the Federal Reserve.

Venture capital fundraising drops to lowest level in 7 years
Venture capital fundraising in the second quarter dropped to its lowest level since 2003 as ongoing economic uncertainty kept investors sidelined.

The joint study by the National Venture Capital Association and Thomson Reuters found that funds feeding the need for venture capital raised $1.9 billion during the second quarter. That was down significantly from $3.7 billion in first-quarter 2010 and $4.3 billion in second-quarter 2009. It was the lowest dollar amount raised since the third quarter of 2003, according to the NVCA.

A total of 38 funds received money in the second quarter, according to the survey. Of those, nine were new companies and 29 were follow-up funding rounds, the study said.
