There's more venture capital money floating around Nashville, and most of it is still going into the health care business. The city's investors and health care executives have compiled a report that finds in the last 10 years, $1.6 billion has been poured into local startups, 60 percent of that went into health care.

These are companies that have moved beyond angel investors or getting help from friends and family. According to the Nashville Capital Network and the Nashville Health Care Council — who jointly produced the report — a total of 300 firms were backed by venture money between 2005 and 2015.
