It's about Entrepreneurs not just the Funds

Nitin Rao at Next Billion makes a point that has worried me for while. A wave of capital of is flowing into the 'development sector' without an equivalent amount of effort being put into seeding the pipeline:

In recent years, the capital markets have infused millions of dollars into the 'development sector.' While we applaud the growing interest in development through enterprise, the question arises: are there enough quality investees? Or, more simply, is too much money chasing too few investments?...From anecdotal experience, I have come across top talent managing fund portfolios, advising donors, consulting and taking on similar roles of indirect participation -- but not too many driving entrepreneurship that taps into this capital...There could not be a better time for DOers to take the plunge, launching profitable vehicles to use this capital to create services for those who need it the most.
