Venture capital funding trends continue to be a good-news, bad-news situation.

During the second quarter of the year, VCs nationwide invested $6.7 billion in 913 deals -- both upticks compared to the first quarter. That's according to the latest MoneyTree Report, prepared by the National Venture Capital Association and PricewaterhouseCoopers using data from Thomson Reuters.
