How Did This Happen?

We’re still wondering how venture investors such as Redpoint (which lost $25 million in this) and Highland (which lost $50 million) could have let this happen.

Matt is wondering how investors could have put so much into Amp’d only to see the remaining assets get auctioned off for a fraction of what was spent.

I have one word, Asera, which was valued at over $1 billion at their last round of financing, which just adds further weight to the idea that valuations in private financing events should never be considered a reliable measure of what a business is really worth.
