Venture Capital Activity Report | Q4 2010

www.cbinsights.com

Q4 2010 – This Quarter in Venture CapitalQuarter sees highest dealflow and funding of last eight quarters. Internet saw Year-

over-Year deal count up 21%, Green Tech up 7% and Healthcare up 2%.

2

At $6.5B of venture capital funding over 735 deals, Q4 2010’s venture capital stats have something for everyone. For

those of you looking for a data point that suggests VC is back and on the road to recovery after 2009’s tough sledding, the

eight quarter high on deals and dollars gives you something to hang your hat on. For those of you who think VC is

overheated and we’re headed for a bubble, the eight quarter high on deals and dollars gives you something to hang your

hat on. Yes – it’s all a matter of perspective.

Overall, 2010 saw $23.7B of funding into 2792 deals which represented 14% growth in funding and 13% growth in deals

over 2009’s VC nadir.

Say Bye Bye Massachusetts – NY is #2 for Tech VC

Over the last five quarters, NY has seen 208 tech deals

vs. 207 for Massachusetts. Funding to NY tech

companies came in at $1.22B vs. $1.21B for

Massachusetts. The margin of victory for NY is ever so

slight, but most striking is the trend for both states which

are going in very different directions. (Trend can be

seen here: http://bit.ly/dLmLYG)

Seed VC Retains Its Share | Early Stage Grows

Q3 2010 saw 11% of deals going to Seed VC deals and

that share stayed consistent in Q4 2010. The share of

Series A deals increased over Q3 2010. Early stage

deal activity was nearly 50% of total deals representing

the highest level seen in five quarters.

VCs Connecting With Internet Deals Often

The growth in the quarter was driven largely by a red-

hot internet sector which hit a five quarter high (by a lot)

on both deals and dollars. Early stage activity remained

strong as did NY on the internet deal and dollar front.

Green Tech / Clean Tech Investments Stay Flat

After two quarters of VC funding to Green Tech/Clean

Tech investments declining, the space saw deals and

dollars hold vs. the prior quarter. On a year-over-year

basis, investment funding was up 40%. Early stage

investment on a deals basis into Green Tech fell to a

five-quarter low. Renewables and Energy Efficiency

maintained their positions as the top 2 areas for Green

Tech investment and in aggregate, they garnered their

largest share of deals of the last five quarters.

Healthcare VC – A Mixed Bag

Deals in the Healthcare space were up modestly YoY but

funding was down almost 16%. The growth in funding

and deals seen over the last 2 quarters ceased as well.

Mass and Cali took over 50% of Healthcare funding but

Mass’ share of Healthcare VC fell to a five-quarter low.

Early stage activity in Healthcare hit a five quarter high.

Cali's Number of VC Deals Grows, Funding Down

California retained its belt as uncontested venture capital

heavyweight champion. Relative to 2009, California saw

3% growth in deals and a 2% drop in VC funding. The

state saw 14% growth in deals on a sequential basis over

Q3 2010. 60% of the state's funding went to Internet and

Healthcare companies. Mobile also took its largest share

of deals in the last five quarters.

Colorado - The New Green Tech Hub?

Three of the top 10 green tech deals in the quarter were

in Colorado. The state which is usually 3-4% of green

tech deals jumped to 10%.

Texas Gets the Early Stage Bug

In aggregate, Texas stayed within its recent historical

range, but it did see growth in early-stage deals with 6 of

10 deals in the quarter being into early stage deals.

Washington At Five Quarter Low in VC Funding

Over 50% of Washington deals were in early-stage

companies and almost 60% of deals were to Internet

firms. The smaller checks to less capital-hungry web

companies helped to drive Washington to a five quarter

low on VC funding.

It is worth noting what we included and what we didn’t as this quarter had some mega-deals which can and did greatly

impact results. For example, Groupon’s funding was included as there was VC participation although we only included the

portion of their funding that closed in 2010, i.e. $500M. We’d recommend you also review our definitions and methodology

on p. 59 for details on our approach to VC data.

of a mega-deal (Groupon) is clearly evident given the large Other category.

Definitions – Ensuring Data IntegrityWhat’s Included in our Quarterly Venture Capital Numbers? What is not?

59

Given the importance of venture capital in spurring innovation and entrepreneurship, measuring venture capital activity

accurately is important. We encourage you to review the methodology and definitions employed by us to better

understand the numbers presented in this report. If you have any questions about our definitions or methodological

principles, we encourage you to reach out to us directly.

• Equity financings into emerging companies.

Funding must come from venture capital firms including

corporate venture groups.

• Fundings of only private companies. Public

companies of any kind on any exchange (including Pink

Sheets) are excluded from our numbers even if they

received investment by a venture firm(s)

• Companies must be headquartered in the USA. Our

geographic data is based on the city and state where the

company receiving investment is headquartered. If a

company has a satellite office/presence in multiple cities

or was founded in a particular city but has moved its HQ,

our results reflect only this HQ address.

• Only include the investment made in the quarter for

tranched investments. If a company does a second

closing of its Series B round for $5M and previously had

closed $2M in a prior quarter, only the $5M is reflected

in our results.

• Round #s reflect what has closed – not what is

intended. If a company indicates the closing of $5M out

of a desired raise of $15M, our numbers reflect only the

amount which has closed.

• Only verifiable fundings are included. Fundings are

verified via (1) various federal & state regulatory filings

(2) direct confirmation with firm or investor or (3) press

release.

• Funding close date matters. Fundings are provided

based on funding close date and not on announcement

date.

• Angel investment. These are not included in

numbers unless an investment round included Angels

investing alongside a venture capital firm or corporate

venture group.

• No contingent funding. If a company receives a

commitment for $20M subject to hitting certain

milestones but first gets $8M, only the $8M is included

in our data.

• No business development/R&D arrangements

whether transferable into equity now, later or

never. If a company signs a $300M R&D partnership

with a larger corporation, this is not equity financing

nor is it from venture capital firms. As a result, it is not

included.

• Buyouts, Consolidations and Recapitalizations.

All three of these of transaction types are commonly

employed by private equity firms and are tracked by

CB Insights. However, they are excluded for the

purposes of this report. Private equity investments into

companies which may have received venture capital

investment prior are also not included.

• Private placements. These investments also known

as PIPEs (Private Investment in Public Equities) even

if made by a venture capital firm(s) are not included.

• Debt/loans of any kind. Venture debt or any kind of

debt/loan issued to emerging, startup companies even

if included as an additional part of an equity financing

is not included. If a company receives $3M with $2M

from venture investors and $1M in debt, only the $2M

is included in these statistics.

• Government funding. Grants, loans, equity

financings by the federal government, state agencies

or public-private partnerships to emerging, startup

companies are not included. Strictly venture or

corporate venture outfits.

• Incubator investments. Investments of money as

equity or debt and/or services by incubators are not

included.

• Strategic corporate investments. Corporations

making strategic investments in companies but not as

part of a specific organized venture group are not

included.

What is included? What is excluded?
