And it could repel the bubble, concerning the open source, almost the impression of the extensive failure that color remained densely from all VC excluding extremely part you face. But, here several years, utilization of the open source software increases, from the fact that the open source enterprise which continues has supplied success, interest of the investor again has increased. Presently, to be drawing the investor to the open source, height and commercialization of the possibility progressive idea being born it is fast, if and it is former, scale being too small, you say that it is the power which can develop the niche kind of market which cannot put out the profit. It is found that if basic important matter of the enterprise which succeeds has been even the enterprise which is based on the open source is worthy of to sufficient examination as a investment outlet, that the investor you think.

Clearlyit has been visible to managing director Lisa Lambert you take charge of the investment for the software solution with as VC increase where it aims for the acquisition of the opportunities of making investment that the interest for the open source is recovering. As for here several years "attaching to something, the open source has been entwined", that she says.

But, as for Larsen, as for existence of such investor, it meaning that the partner who should correspond is recognized easily, you express for the starting a business house of the open source which seeks the subscriber, that it is favorable. Source to investment as for positive VC number because relative it is little still, the starting a business house already just inspects the investment announcement of a certain open source can find the latent subscriber. Because of that, it is the case that feel gradually without approaching it does not have at the venture investment company.

It is not that much difficult to find the reason where the acceptability for the open source has increased. "VC is not the case that you like new thing everything. Any new forcing things treatment are difficult, risk increases ", those where you say are of opensource VC. "It was not many so the example which so far, does well. It reached the point where the venture investment company shows considerable agreement in method of thinking where in here 2 years, it can revive the company even with the open source. Actually, the example such as that it is several ". JBoss, MySQL, Red Hat, XenSource and Zimbra etc. so are.

But, there is restriction as these examples, Lambert like this points out that. "Large majority of the open source product which matures is server based ones. In addition, large portion of maturity enterprise and new enterprise of the open source has put the center of activity on the server ". For the portable device and it is you can expect to the application of the cross platform investment, but as for the open source for the desktop still "the opportunity has not ripened", that as for her you see.
