Third Quarter's Top Venture Deals
Setting aside the fact that Dow Jones and Thomson Reuters/the NVCA/PricewaterhouseCoopers don't agree on what they are, you get an interesting batch of companies when you combine the two lists. Seventy percent of them (12/17) are in California, and nearly half -- (8/17) -- are in healthcare, most of them developing drugs or medical devices. There are four clean tech companies, two social networks and three outliers -- a wireless IT company, a company in Iowa that sells software for fundraising, and an oil and gas exploration company working in Africa. Only one (Solyndra) has raised over $100 million.
