Findings top

  • The amount of venture capital invested in the United States increased more than 10-fold, from nearly $8 billion in 1995 to a record $106 billion in 2000, before falling to $41 billion in 2001. (By 2002, it declined to $21 billion.)

  •  In 2001, the state average for venture capital disbursed per $1,000 GSP was $4.06, up from $1.05 in 1995.

  •  At the state level in 2001, this value ranged from a high of $17.07 per $1,000 GSP to no venture capital investment.

  •  The state distribution of venture capital was similar to that for the high-technology indicators.

Description top

Venture capital represents an important source of funding for startup companies. This indicator was designed to show the relative magnitude of venture capital investments in a state after adjusting for the size of the state's economy. The indicator is expressed as dollars of venture capital disbursed per $1,000 gross state product (GSP).

Data for this indicator were calculated for 1995, 1998, and 2001. Although venture capital data are available for 2002, GSP values have not been released.
