VC firms push for outsourcing

There isn't a board meeting that goes by that we don't ask, 'Why aren't you being more aggressive (with software development) in India and China?' '' said Jim Breyer, managing general partner of the Palo Alto venture firm Accel Partners, which has backed more than 200 companies.
