Week 8 Reading Reflection

I think the most surprising thing in the reading this week was the part about venture capitalists. I was surprised about all the different thing concerning them from the ways they get venture capital to the several ways they evaluate new opportunities. I was confused when they were talking about promoting open data. I feel as though it didn't quite "fit" in the theme of the overall chapter and could've been explained better. If I could ask the author anything it would be why a lot of venture capitalist think they are going to get an above average return on their investments most of the time. I mean it can't be possible to always come out at a level they want.  As with other chapter that are just introducing factual information, it is hard to find the author wrong about anything, especially when I don't have the knowledge to identify parts he may have been on.
