NORTHEAST VENTURE CAPITAL INFORMATION & STATS
Consisting of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Maryland, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont, the northeast region is considered the most affluent region in the United States and has more than 54 million people. Northeast venture capital firms are leaders in the industry and have backed a large amount of seed and early stage businesses within the fields of information technology, biotechnology, high-tech manufacturing, research and development, and pharmaceuticals. Northeast capital can range from $25,000 to $15 million through traditional venture capital/private equity firms or angel investors.
Similar to west coast venture capital, northeast funding has proven critical to creating the sustainability of the region. Although activity for early and late stage funding is high, northeast private equity including later stage financing, buyouts, and mezzanine funding is also important in the investor community.
