Venture Capital Activity Report | Q2 2012

Q2 2012 This Quarter in Venture Capital


What VC slowdown? After Q1 2012s funding dip, Q2 sees VCs open up their wallets wide and often with the highest funding and deal totals since the dot com days.
812 companies received $8.1B of financing in Q2 2012 removing any thoughts that VCs were taking a break because of concerns about the IPO or exit markets or larger economic uncertainty. This represents a 37% increase in funding and 3% increase in deals vs. the prior quarter. On a year over year basis, funding and deals were up 5% and 4% respectively. Deal activity which we continue to view as the best gauge of investor sentiment remains strong. The pace of deal making coupled with mega deals especially in green tech helped to dial up funding in a big way.
Note: Only deals in which VCs are participating are included. Companies which raise money from mutual or private equity funds or corporations (unless it is their corporate venture arms) are not included. We recommend you review our definitions and methodology on p. 66 to see what is included/excluded as there is a great amount of misinformation out there.

A Changing of the Guard Is NY the New #2 Overall? While NYs ascent in tech VC has been something we highlighted some time ago, this quarter marked the 2nd straight quarter in which NY exceeded Massachusetts on overall VC deal volume. On the funding front, Mass continues to retain the #2 position. Seed VC Investing Hits All-Time High

Internet Sector Hits Five-Quarter High Seed deals bolster internet sectors deal volume while mid and later-stage deals buoy funding levels. Cali and NY becoming two-headed monster on the internet front (with Cali, of course, dominating). Social takes backseat to ed tech, e-commerce apparel and enterprise technology plays. Healthcare VC on Life Support

More than 1 out of 5 VC deals this quarter were seed investments. These call options as weve referred to them in the past made up 31% of all internet deal and 34% of all mobile sector deals. Seed VC deals have been hot for a while, but the level of activity at this stage has accelerated steadily since Q1 2011. Mobile Deals Hit All-Time High. Herd Mentality? Without being too self-congratulatory, the Instagram Effect we speculated about in Q1 2012 seems to have taken shape as the mobile sector saw 102 deals, an alltime high. Photo and video related companies took home almost 30% of the funding in mobile evidencing more opportunity in those areas. For skeptics, it may also be indicative of a VC herd mentality. Time will tell. Green Tech Mega Deals Dont Mask Sectors Issues Big deals to Fisker, Bloom Energy and Sapphire inflate funding to a five quarter high while deal volume fell to a five quarter low having fallen 37% vs. last year. Renewable energy, green techs typical goto industry, fell below 30% of deal volume for the first time suggesting the sector remains in flux.

Bad healthcare puns aside, the trend for healthcare VC is not a great one. Deals hit a five quarter low while funding rebounded modestly from the Q112 lows. Mass VC Malaise Spreads to Healthcare Too Although healthcare deals were down overall, Massachusetts share of deals and dollars to the healthcare sector fell more than industry levels. For healthcare, Mass was only 13% of deals and 15% of funding both five quarter lows. Washington Gets Some Love Washington state hits a five quarter high on both deals and funding. Year over year, dollars and deals were up 136% and 10% respectively. On a sequential basis, funding climbed 51% and deals jumped 14%. Strong performance by healthcare and internet sectors help Washingtons Q2 2012 performance. Cali The Beat Dont Stop The Golden State juggernaut rebounds nicely in Q2. Takes 45% of deals and 58% of funding (both five quarter highs). Versus Q112, Calis funding was up 64% and deal were up 17%. On a YoY basis, funding to Cali companies was up 28% and deals grew 6%.

Venture Capital Activity Report | Q2 2012

Definitions Ensuring Data Integrity


Whats Included in our Quarterly Venture Capital Numbers? What is not?
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.

What is included?
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.

What is excluded?
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.
