I would maybe restate #3 from "There is no cyclicality to venture" to "the cyclicality of venture is highly correlated with public markets"

Scott Dorsey, Co-Founder and CEO of ExactTarget maybe in this category. The company is incredibly well respected in the Midwest, has happy employees, and are out there consistently getting it done business wise. Filed for a IPO, but haven't been able to get it done. Everyone is happy, just waiting for the payoff to come someday.
