Venture capital investing just had its biggest Q1 in 15 years, according to new data on VC investment trends.
At $13.4 billion in 1,020 deals, the first fiscal quarter of 2015 clocked in the most first-quarter funding since 2000. Investors threw 26 percent more money into deals than they did in the first quarter of 2014. If you needed any more proof the market is on the upswing, this is it. The numbers come from the MoneyTree Report produced quarterly by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association, using data provided by Thomson Reuters.
