VCs USED TO LOVE THE CLOUD
In the old days, the first $50M of VC funding went to Cisco, EMC, Sun and Oracle. And then the public cloud came along, and that shifted to the first $5M going to AWS.
NOW VCs ARE ACTIVELY FIGHTING AGAINST THE MONSTER THEY HELPED CREATE
- VCs are learning that bandwidth costs never come down
- VCs would like to get more of the profits, which are going to AWS
- Now VCs are putting their money behind other clouds
- Is this a trend that will continue?
