| | #3 | Why startups are struggling | | | By James Surowiecki, MIT Technology Review | | | The number of companies in Silicon Valley that got seed funding from investors more than doubled between 2007 and 2012. Venture capital funding in the U.S. over the last five years has totaled a remarkable $238 billion, and 200 companies today are so-called unicorns, privately valued at more than a billion dollars each.
