U.S. companies pulled in $9.5 billion in venture funding in the first three months of 2014, the highest quarterly total since the second quarter of 2001. But the wealth was not spread evenly.

The D.C. region, meanwhile, saw a worrisome dip in venture funding compared with the same period last year.
