The venture capital industry needs to start spending some money!

According to research by Preqin, $345.4 bn in venture capital money has been raised over the past 10 years, but $118.9 bn ?remains committed, yet not invested, as capital held in reserve?. In 2010, the level of dry powder reached was only $112.7 bn, which was down from $117.9 bn at the end of 2009.
