Armed with some publicly available data from our friends at CrunchBase, I broke down the 10 largest rounds in NYC during the month of June. I have included some additional information as well such as industry and investors in the round, to further the analysis. In order to maintain a focus on conventional tech startups, pharmaceutical and biotech companies were removed from the data as well as WeWork’s $443M financing.
Service providers and job seekers – rejoice!
