According to a new report from Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), U.S. venture capital firms raised $20.6 billion from 182 funds during full year 2012.
That’s a nearly 3-percent drop by number of funds compared to full year 2011, and a much steeper 18-percent decline compared to 2008.
That said, the $20.6 billion raised in 2012 exceeds the total of capital raised by U.S. VC firms in the three years prior. Only 2008 saw $25,6 billion raised, but again, that was from way more funds – namely 215.
