There are several growing venture-capital ecosystems outside of Silicon Valley and New York. VCs are writing checks from metropolitan areas like LA, Miami, Boston, and the Rocky Mountain region. Insider compiled lists of VCs who are the must-know investors in their respective regions.
Venture capitalists can now invest and write a check to a startup from anywhere in the US. It’s a lesson they learned during the pandemic years, when, as a matter of necessity, many VCs and startup founders connected virtually and found that the need for capital was far beyond the tech hubs of the San Francisco Bay Area and New York.
Data gathered by Carta shows that in 2022, Boston, Miami, and Austin ranked in the top 10 metropolitan areas with the most venture investment activity.
Insider has compiled the must-know venture capitalists and those quickly rising the ranks across the US that every startup founder interested in fundraising should meet — virtually or in person — based on recommendations from their peers and our research.
Insider has also provided lists of the most important VCs in various regions, including New York, Boston, Miami, Los Angeles, Texas, Midwest, and the Rocky Mountain region. These lists are based on recommendations from other VCs.
