VC Funding Increased Depending On Industry And Location
The latest venture capital numbers suggest that VCs are starting to open up their wallets again as they see the IPO window widening. Of course, it depends on industry and location. For all the hype about biotech, VCs realize it may be safer to bet on software right now.
Software received the most venture funds, beating out biotech, which had been
the most popular target for the two previous quarters. The bigger issue
is location. Funding is down if you are trying to raise money in Massachussetts, Texas or Utah.
However, funding is much better if you are located in Florida, San
Diego or Washington state. Of course, in many of these locations, just a few big investments represent the majority of the activity - so it's hard to pick out specific trends based on locations where there really isn't much being invested on an ongoing basis.

Deloitte surveyed 175 high-tech companies and found that the industry's once-rich supply of employee stock options is running dry and is unlikely to be replenished. The article sites the cause may be the new federal accounting standards, requiring the expensing of options, which are expected next year. This could be the end of an era.
