I think point #2 is right on the money. Too many mee-too firms gets funded and this casuses wasted investments.

Like all asset classes, VC industry has attracted too much capital to be allocated prudently. The shakeout is long due

[...] “The VC model is broken” (thanks to Norman) – Interesting and thought provoking post about some potentially fundamental misconceptions undermining the venture capital industry, which was traditionally an important vehicle of technological innovation. Again, reading that piece got me thinking about the communication flow within that relatively closed community and how it can be part of the problem. [...]

“Too much money has swept in, with too few deals to accommodate it. This has distorted the economics badly. Valuations are driven up for the good companies, making it prohibitively expensive for VCs to invest. Everyone loses.”

You touched on the crux of the issue right there, but it applies to the financial industry as a whole and not just VC. Capital is overvalued and the new bubble. While investment in human capital (the infrastructure that makes people more productive has been in steady decline for the last half century.) There is a magic formula of capital + labor + innovation (technology and entrepreneurship) that equals success. Developing and empowering our human capital for long term success has taken a back seat to throwing money around to the point where there is no longer return on investment for the most part.
