Venture backed companies were responsible for 12 million jobs and 3 trillion dollars in revenue in the United States in 2010!  With that much money being distributed in capital funding, what areas are Venture Capital groups investing in now and how much are these Venture deals worth?

Venture Capital groups are organizations made of Investors which look at Industries and individual companies to determine substantial growth potential and invest not only their money but, also their expertise and time to nurture and help grow a company to regain their initial investment.

Investments made by Venture Capital groups have risen slowly from a low in 2009 increasing from $19.7 billion with 3065 deals in 2010 to $28.4 billion invested and 3,674 deals being made in 2011.

Outlays of Investment Capital fall into three segments:

  •       Industrial and Energy
  •       Software
  •       Biotechnology

While larger dollar amounts of capital funding are being provided for Industry and Energy, a greater number of deals are being offered for Software and Biotechnology. Half of all capital funding deals made by Venture Capital firms in 2011 were made for Software companies.
