- katatoniq, on 10/23/2009, -1/+12Excuse me for being so ignorant, but what exactly IS Venture Capital?
- pixelguru, on 10/23/2009, -0/+9Say I have this incredible idea or product, but it will cost a lot of money to get going, and since it is far from a secure thing and I have little collateral, getting a bank to loan me the dough on my good word that my business will (hopefully) be wildly successful is unlikely. Venture Capital steps in to front the startup money in exchange for shares of the new business. If I'm right, and I become the next Amazon or Google, the VC firm rakes in boat load of return on their investment. If I fail, they're SOL. It's high-risk and high-return.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venture_capital - OmNomNomBACON, on 10/22/2009, -2/+11Surprisingly, the Tennessee area is blank...
- EMFK, on 10/22/2009, -1/+9Where's the money? Hello Silicon Valley!
- badqat, on 10/22/2009, -0/+7Indeed...it seems to flow quite heavily there.
- mattmacneil, on 10/23/2009, -0/+5Where are these damn 'infographics' coming from?!
- enantiodromia, on 10/23/2009, -0/+3This is why our CEOs tend to live in Atherton, Palo Alto, and Los Altos Hills, as those areas are about 5 minutes away from Sand Hill Road, where all the VC firms are.
- harvinator24, on 10/23/2009, -1/+4Except for the fact that the tiny island of Manhattan has 111 deals alone. Pretty could for a mile long island surrounded by dirty jersey water.
- YvesKlein, on 10/23/2009, -0/+3How the hell is Iowa "south central"?
- HotSaucePanCake, on 10/23/2009, -0/+3Firms that gather up Capital to VENTURE into investment in markets generally new ideas or start ups but certainly not limited to these.
- badqat, on 10/23/2009, -0/+1Palo Alto is absolutely gorgeous. But I'd probably choose Mountain View.
Actually, if I thought I could stand the drive, I'd choose Santa Cruz. - bgturk, on 10/24/2009, -0/+1Burying anything that has [infographic] in its title.
- Jnkns, on 10/26/2009, -0/+1I certainly don't understand how this infographics keep being dugg. Anyway, the only thing I can say about this is a lack of startup activity and creativity going on, changed my life.

- burgerboy06, on 10/23/2009, -0/+180-100+
fail - Punjabdasher, on 10/23/2009, -0/+1Meh. Mountain View is simply mediocre, and Santa Cruz is full of bums. If you can afford it, Palo Alto is the best choice.
- MattyC69, on 10/23/2009, -0/+1Not much dealings going on in South Central it seems...
- Ymeg, on 10/23/2009, -0/+1no data?
- Punjabdasher, on 10/23/2009, -0/+1No surprise about the Silicon Valley.
- HotSaucePanCake, on 10/23/2009, -1/+2Nothing compared to Palo Alto
- mosen12, on 10/23/2009, -0/+0Where? Hope here
- pixelguru, on 10/23/2009, -1/+1What exactly is going on in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi? They have their own color which doesn't seem to denote anything. Were they simply ignored for some reason? I can understand the lack of interest in West Virginia, but I doubt Jersey, Maryland and Virginia are insignificant. Did the venture capital in those states collapse into a singularity and begin sucking in the money of nearby states?
- cstieff, on 10/23/2009, -0/+0Thats what I was thinking. I interned at a VC firm outside of DC in Maryland and I know that there is a TON of bio-tech VC firms in Baltimore because of Johns Hopkins. I can't see it being as much as NYC or California but why is it blackout?
- HotSaucePanCake, on 10/23/2009, -3/+2The Northeast, It's not very creative.
- gvoakes, on 10/23/2009, -3/+2SHOW ME THE MONEY
- Edgar222, on 10/23/2009, -1/+0Got a Bible?
- jeffambo, on 10/23/2009, -2/+0They're invading California!!
