Figured I should start a thread on VC numbers for U.S + Canadian cities and all other tech info.
Venture Capital Q1 2022
United States top 10
CityDealsTotal Value
1. Silicon Valley 734 $28.9B 2. NY 499 $11.7B 3. Los Angeles 256 $5.2B 4. Boston 218 $4.4B 5. Dallas 54 $2.26B 6. Austin 105 $1.8B 7. Seattle 100 $1.5B 8. Philly 80 $1.495B 9. Chicago 64 $1.36B 10. D.C 116 $1.13B 11. Miami 81 $1.05B ("capital of capital") 12. Denver 89 $894M 13. Atlanta 55 $686M 14. Raleigh 41 $247M
Canada
1. Toronto 71 $1.7B (USD) 2. Vancouver 26 $237M (USD)
Nothing for Montreal, waiting for CVCA info but the city surpassed $1.2B CAD in Q1 2022, probably around or more than Miami/D.C and on par with Chicago.
It's so weird how in tech circles, I always hear them downplay L.A, yet look at those numbers! Fantastic. Also shoutout to Dallas, those are solid numbers too.
Location: Miami (prev. NY, Atlanta, SF, OC and San Diego)

Boston’s question popped into my mind as well….a noticeable omission from above list would be San Diego (which also receives VC funding outside of tech/biotech; Vuori, activewear company, is a Unicorn that received $400M funding alone from SoftBank)….even more noticeable, SF—not listed either—receives even more biotech VC funding than SD……UNLESS the title, thread and article were confusing (are we talking startups only OR total VC funding—all categories tech/biotech/fintech/others???...please clarify)

Awesome to see the continued momentum in Philadelphia.
Exactly. Philadelphia has all the ingredients in place for start up success already. Our congressman, Ro Khanna, is a Philadelphia native, and he has been pushing local tech companies to expand out across the country, which is awesome imo. I hope he runs for president someday.

Dallas had one company that apparently raised $1B. That round led by Austin's Vista Equity Partners by the way..

Presumably SF is lumped in with "Silicon Valley", which I think is reasonable in this particular context to be honest. (Does it really matter if a company is based in SF rather than Palo Alto, particularly with more remote work?) San Diego is an omission, I wonder if they simply didn't have the data for SD.

Who downplays LA? I've been hearing about "Silicon Beach" for decades.

.
On prior CD threads discussing biotech I usually see SF, not Silicon Valley, listed—even though Silicon Valley does have biotech firms and the 2 areas and industries can be interchangeable, after a 33 year career with the same semiconductor giant I treat biotech as a completely separate category from IT. Combined with the omission of SD, that prompted me to question whether biotech was included (along with any other categories outside of tech, such as the $400M provided by SoftBank to Vuori in November that by itself would’ve placed it above Raleigh). Not sure why SD was omitted….any other cities missed—Phoenix??…Tampa??
Agree with you on LA (Westside: Playa del Rey up to Santa Monica)
