Some sloppy errors in the Fortune article...

<<Over the past 32 years, ICG has paid more than $200 million for holdings in 36 companies. This year alone it expects to spend on B2B e-commerce about twice as much as noted venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins will spend on all
its tech investments.>>

1) ICG was formed in 1996. Where does the 32 years come from?

2) Kleiner Perkins invests $100 Million each year in tech companies. So now ICGE is suddenly investing $200 million per year? It does not agree with the claim in the article that they invested a total of $200 Million in the last three years.
