Venture Capital Firms -- Silicon Valley Daily. Silicon Valley Tech Venture Capital - CB Insights. Throughout its history, Silicon Valley has dominated the spotlight for promoting and financing the growth of emerging tech companies. Today Silicon Valley continues to remain the center of tech innovation, in large part, because the startup hotbed now spills well into the San Francisco Peninsula. Among the hundreds of emerging tech companies now headquartered in San Francisco are Pinterest, Square and Uber. And when we look at data across the entire San Francisco Bay Area, it is clear that the Silicon Valley tech hub is the 800 lb. gorilla when it comes to both venture-backed tech financing and exit activity.
Since the start of 2009, venture capital firms have deployed $31.5 billion across 3,308 deals into Silicon Valley-based tech startups. In fact, Silicon Valley has consistently taken over 40% of venture capital deals and over 50% of funding to tech startups across seven major U.S. venture hubs including New York and Massachusetts.
