A very good post though I don't think that all VC's will shy away from funding start ups during a recession. The best VC's would concur with all of the points you and others have raised and also know that some of the best companies have been started during a downtown in the economy...MS and Cisco to name a couple. In addition, as technology continues to evolve the cost of building key components of a business has also declined and the time to market is generally shorter compared to 5 or 10 years ago.
