Cody: Speaking as someone active in the venture world, as well as a long-time observer of the space, I can tell you very little noteworthy venture investing is going on. Bit of triage, bit of bluster, but that's about it. While partners aren't as mopey as they were eight months ago, they're also still not doing much -- other than feigning higher levels of activity to pacify grouchy limited partners. So not sure who you're talking to, but activity is largely moribund in the layabout venture world.
The biggest activity these days? I had a mail message the other day asking for bets on which public pension fund will follow U. Texas in folding and starting to disclose all their ill-performing private investments. (Smart money is on CalPERS, although a couple of Mass. funds are running tight behind.)

Hard-ass venture folks think that what's good for the goose (mutual funds) isn't good for the gander (venture funds): they don't want investees to close portfolio performance. But I digress. "
