(Congrats, Does a "spooked" capital market in one asset class bring down the whole capital chain as far as investment capital realization and availability? I was reading the daily Venture Wire blurb last Friday. Usually these are "quick reads" and sort of a mix between a story in the LA Times and Food and Wine, but the content in this one was particularly fascinating
