NYC Area Is Nation's Second-Largest Venture Capital Market
The New York City metropolitan area is the second-largest market for venture capital funding in the United States, with $28.5 billion in investments, or 13.3% of the national total in 2024. The amount invested in the region has more than doubled since 2015, according to a report released by Comptroller DiNapoli. Individual deals valued at more than $50 million drove growth nationally.
“As the financial capital of the country, New York City is a natural hub for venture capital investing and the latest numbers bear that out,” DiNapoli said. “State and local officials should look at ways to make New York City’s business environment even more attractive to investors and support entrepreneurs who lack access to capital, especially as larger deals divert funds from startups hoping to establish themselves and spur growth in the area’s economy.”
