If the first quarter is any gauge for U.S. venture capital funding, there's not a lot to look forward to for the rest of the year.
The number of funds that raised money for venture capital in the first quarter of 2013 was fewer than any other quarter in the last 10 years, according to a new report by Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA).
Thirty-five funds contributed to venture capital fundraising last quarter, which is a 14 percent decrease in the number of funds from the final quarter of 2012. The slowest quarter in 2012 had 44 funds contributing and the slowest in 2011 had 48.
