Today, I take a look at the state of venture capital and angel funding during the month of August in New York. Analyzing some publicly available data from our friends at CrunchBase, we break down the aggregate statistics for all funding deals by stage of funding (Seed, Series A, Series B, and Series C+) including mention of notable rounds.
30 Second Takeaway:
As we already reported last month, August 2018 was the single greatest month for NYC startup funding, with total funding crossing the $2B mark!, sharply up close to 300% from both August 2017 and July 2018 levels. Massive activity in the late stage and Series B rounds contributed largely to this total.
