From the start of 2007 through the third quarter of last year, Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania participated in 38 percent of the rounds of venture capital raised by companies in the five-county Philadelphia area that were classified as early-stage or seed/startup investments in the MoneyTree reports issued over the period.

The report, “Performance Profiles, 2007-2011: Five Years of Success,” is available on Ben Franklin’s website (http://www.sep.benfranklin.org/).
