The infrastructure is better

It's funny when this subject is brought up it is always about the nets infrastructure and never about logistics which have improved enormously from the income of the .com boom as well as advances in technology in their sector. Fedex and UPS are now shipping far more for far cheaper than they ever have, the first bubble helped them improve their infrastructure and that is a huge piece of the puzzle as to why we are able to handle more innovation now.

That being said, I do think the scrutiny and due diligence some investors are doing lacks rigor as such some of the companies will fail, the real question is are the successes enough to offset the bad investments. Once that scale tips we are running up the bubble, I don't think we are there yet, but it will bubble at some point, as one of the only bright sectors of the economy it cannot be ignored for long. People are desperate to get their money in an inflating bet, at the moment the barrier to entry to do that with Angle and VC investing is high which creates a form of self regulating market.
