Quick takeaways:
Funding in NYC was down 52% from September level as funding approached $500M for the month in NYC. September was a stellar month for NYC funding; hot off the summer lull so a pullback to normalcy was to be expected. Nationally funding was down 36% percent as well. Early stage funding actually increased both nationally and in NYC and the decrease is largely attributable to a reduction in the number of latter stage deals.
