Useful Stats: NASVF, Moneytree Publish 6-Year VC Results by State
Aggregated venture capital investments are commonly used by state and local policymakers to assess the “health” of their tech-based economies. As a result, some of the most accessed pages of the SSTI Weekly Digest web archives have been the state-by-state tables SSTI generates with the release of each quarter’s Moneytree™ venture capital survey results.
The merger of the PricewaterhouseCoopers and Venture One surveys late last year into a single Moneytree™ survey, however, made long-term analysis inaccurate, if not impossible, for practitioners and researchers alike.
Fortunately, the National Association of Seed and Venture Funds sought a solution to the problem from PricewaterhouseCoopers/Venture One. The results, two charts presenting annual seed and first round venture capital investments by state for 1995-2000, are posted in the NASVF NetNews web library. The first article <http://www.nasvf.org/web/allpress.nsf/pages/2833> provides six-year aggregate data and each state’s share of the total number of deals and funding. The second article <http://www.nasvf.org/web/allpress.nsf/pages/2841> presents annual results by state.
