Venture capital funding is at a two-year low. That might be a good thing.

The report was compiled by CB Insights, which watches the VC market, and KPMG International, a consultancy.

Earlier funding levels were "irrationally high," CB Insights CEO Anand Sanwal said in a statement. "That was not sustainable or healthy."
