This year, based on current trends, it could double again. In Delaware, the country’s incorporation capital, new business formation was up 19 percent last year, the highest one-year growth rate on record.
In other words, there’s never been a better time to start your own company.

While that may seem true on the surface, you also must consdier the extra competition for financing. There is a trend to invest in later stage companies and VC firms are wanting to see more traction and progress before they part with their $$. Money is out there, just keep your expectations in line and focus on your business. If its truly a great biz then the money will find you.
