After a slow 2009, there is a rush to invest, which has raised prices of start-up firms and sent Kleiner looking for earlier stage companies, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers Partner Matt Murphy said at the Reuters Global Technology Summit in San Francisco.

Murphy manages the iFund, a $200 million fund that invests in applications for the iPhone and other Apple Inc devices.
