( for the Week of 2013-05-27 to 2013-06-02 )
The Startup Financing Report is published each Monday on WITNESSETH: Law, Deals, & Data. This Report tracks startup-company financing activity reported during the prior week. The data is based on Form D disclosures filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The individual deals underlying the data can be accessed here for new companies, here for all companies, and here for venture capital funds. The numbers in this beta version of the report are preliminary and subject to later update.
Synopsis:
Startup company financing is now trending below last year, having reversed a strong start in the first quarter. Venture capital financing is flat this past week. Other than a single $5 billion fund raised in the first week of 2013, total venture capital fundraising for 2013 is well below 2012.
