San Diego entrepreneurs launched a record 477 new technology companies in 2016 with $700 million in venture capital financing, according to CONNECT‘s widely followed annual innovation report released Thursday.

It was the largest number of startups created in a year since CONNECT, San Diego’s original technology incubator, began reporting the data in 2005.
