The Indexmeasures and reports the opinions of professional venture capitalists on their estimations of the highgrowthventure entrepreneurial<\/a> environment in the San Francisco Bay Area over the next 6 – 18 months.1The Silicon Valley Venture Capitalist Confidence Index\u00ae for the third quarter of 2014, based on aSeptember 2014 survey of 33 San Francisco Bay Area venture capitalists, registered 3.89 on a 5 pointscale (with 5 indicating high confidence and 1 indicating low confidence). This quarter’s indexmeasurement fell from the previous quarter’s index reading of 4.02.<\/p>\n

In summary, confidence declined in the third quarter of 2014, ending an upward trend in sentiment over the previous two years. <\/strong>Worries over inflated valuations and their eventual impact on the venture business model, along with concern on the macro environment, drove the decline in confidence. However, a still strong if moderating exit market for venture-backed businesses, healthy levels of investment and fundraising, rampant disruptive innovation, and the ever present belief <\/a>in the determination of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs kept sentiment at a relatively high level. Recent public market volatility, though, may slow the exit environment in the near term, with a resulting drag on other aspects of the venture business model. Whether the deceleration in public and private markets acts as a moderating force against over exuberance or is a signal of a longer-term slowdown in the entrepreneurial and broader economic environment remains to be seen.\u00a0\u00a0 Venture Capital Confidence<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
