Turnaround Venture Capitalists See Opportunity In The Current Downturn

<p>While some investors are still hoping the current market volatility will be just a blip, Lauren Bonner of MBM Capital thinks the market is more likely to be looking at a pullback for at least the next 10 quarters — if this downturn looks anything like the dot-com bubble. If venture funding continues to cool off, Bonner predicts the market will soon see a number of worthwhile companies needing help — and MBM plans to be there to supply them with capital, taking a majority stake and helping them restructure. Other VC funds are looking to execute this same strategy.</p>
