If you're an entrepreneur who's been following every nail-biting turn on Wall Street this week (and who among us hasn't?), you've probably wondered how the whole fiasco may impact your chances at scoring funding for your start-up. Here's the good news: despite everything, it appears that Wall Street's meltdown may not have disastrous implications for start-ups seeking funding. Sure, everyone—from VCs to entrepreneurs to your next door neighbor—is freaked out, but the numbers suggest that it hasn't (yet) slowed business for some start-ups and the VCs that fund them.

"Our traffic numbers keep going up and up," a [business-to-consumer start-up] CEO tells the Boston Globe, and a VC offers the same sentiment: "Our portfolio is basically not affected."
