Quick Data Point: VC Investments On Rise in Q2
Venture capitalists have invested nearly $4.55 billion into 497 U.S.-based companies in the second quarter of 2010, according to preliminary Thomson Reuters data (very preliminary, since Q2 has more than a week to go). This is already above the $4.28 billion VCs invested in the second quarter of 2009, and is on pace to top the $4.81 billion invested last quarter (not only because of the time remaining, but also because the figures tend to rise as surveys are returned). It also represents a major increase the in number of dollars invested per deal: $9.13 million per round in Q2 2010, compared to an average of $6.86 million since the beginning of 2008.
