Venture Capital outside of Silicon Valley

Hi, I'm wondering how big venture capital is in areas other than the Silicon Valley. I was told VC plays a crucial role in Boston. Are there any other cities/ regions in the US with high venture capital density? and if so, which types of start up do they mostly concentrate on (e.g. internet, software, biotech, energy etc.).

thanks a lot for any insights

The biggest hubs for VC would likely be Cali / SF / SV, NYC, and Boston. Apart from those cities, the density of VC firms falls off significantly. I'd say the next largest cities with a nice VC presence is Seattle, Denver, and Chicago.

thank you! what does SV stand for?

Sarajevo.

Yes, I'm aware that the city that I literally just wrote is not a random word, but thank you for telling me what it is anyway.

Still, you probably could have inferred what SV means in the context of a series containing both California and San Francisco in a topic with the title (which you created) that has Silicon Valley in it means Silicon Valley...

Damn bro, I thought non-Americans were supposed to be good at geography!

yes, but I was thinking about cities. since silicon valley is not a city but a region, i did not consider it.

also, i asked for vc out of silicon valley, so of course i did not expect that someone would answer silicon valley.

Hence, I could not draw the conclusion that sv stands for silicon valley, as this does not answer my question.

logically, i could not have known that you mean silicon valley. q.e.d.

Actually, because Cali (which is not a city) was also an item on the list, the list is established as a mixed set, such that each item is not necessarily city, but is at least a region.

Furthermore, as you are asking for the set of all items NOT in SV, then you can only ever establish an item's relevance to the criteria in reference to SV (either it is or is not), meaning it must always be in the discussion.

Think you need to learn what qed means homie.

Just curious, how big are Raleigh and DC in your opinion?
