Nanotechnology - Funding Opportunities

Nanotechnology, which is still many years away from becoming a useful usable technology, surprisingly has attracted Venture capitalists like a magnet. One-tenth of 650+ companies in USA are receiving some kind of venture financing. According to National Science Foundation, amount of Venture Capital invested in Nanotechnology is expected to reach phenomenal one trillion dollars in next decade! Such a proposition is very attractive for entrepreneurs to start companies to develop nanotechnology products.

So what is the catch? Why Merrill Lynch's "Nanotech Index" is 25% down? Why Nanosys Inc, a startup nanotechnology firm, supported by major venture capital firms, backed out from $100 million+ IPO? These are the questions that make you think, is world ready for nanotechnology OR is nanotechnology ready for this world?

Next, we will discuss Federal regulations for Nanotechnology.
