KEY TAKEAWAYS:
NYC’s
massive
82%
increase
in
aggregate
funding
is
a
testament
to
the
fer3le
environment
and
thriving
ecosystem
that
has
been
built
in
this
city.
Since
the
bulk
of
this
increase
is
driven
by
Series
A
and
B
companies,
there
is
a
reasonable
expecta3on
that
as
these
companies
mature,
there
will
be
addi3onal
growth
that
will
con3nue
to
filter
through
and
up
the
system.
