Today, I take a look at the state of venture capital and angel funding during the month of February, both in New York and nationally. Analyzing some publicly available data from our friends at CrunchBase, we break down the national aggregate statistics for all funding deals by stage of funding (Seed, Series A, Series B, and Series C+) including mention of notable rounds.
One Minute Takeaway:
After a dismal January, startup funding in New York recovered in NYC during the month of February. Total funding raised was over $620M with particular strength at the A level. Seed funding once again was rather sluggish for NYC startups in February. Aggregate funding was up 200% from February 2017 levels and up 108% from January levels.
