20 Worst VC investments of all time?

November 20th, 2007 by Benjamin Kuo

Amy Quinn from the publication InsideCRM sent over this link of their recent list of the 20 Worst VC Investments of All Time, a ranking of venture funded companies which have crashed and burned. Topping the list is Amp’d Mobile; the only other So-Cal firm I can spot on the list is #11, eToys.

Most of these are Boom 1.0 firms — ie Webvan, Pets.com, Kozmo.com. It would be interesting to compare the types of numbers raised on those firms (ie $100’s of millions) versus the money being invested into firms today.
