While VC firms have told Lux that they expect their nanotech VC deals to deliver returns in six years (longer than they expect in other investment domains), of the 66 nanotech start-ups which received their first institutional VC funding in 2001 or earlier, 58% continue to operate - implying that most nanotech start-ups are taking longer to exit than VCs had expected.

However, the latter platform technology companies still generate valuable intellectual property," noted Jurron Bradley, Senior Analyst and head of Lux Research's nanomaterials practice. "Large corporations should roll up materials and platform technology companies that have already had their R&D and pilot-stage manufacturing paid for by VC firms, buying into hard-built technologies on the cheap.""
