Venture Capital Funding Survey, Fourth Quarter 2014

VENTURE CAPITAL FUNDING, FOURTH QUARTER 2014

This is a listing of many of the Bay Area firms that received venture capital financing between Oct. 1 and Dec. 30, 2014. Most of the data was compiled from a survey conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Thomson Venture Economics and the National Venture Capital Association in conjunction with the Mercury News.

In the case of some investments there may have been other participants in the round who are not credited. Also, the amounts listed may not include all venture funding the company received during the quarter.

*Indicates this is a seed or first-round infusion of money from venture capitalists. These companies may have received money previously from other investors and aren't necessarily startups.
