Boston Quantum Boom - East Coast Capital Warps Past San Francisco

from Metagame

Boston just deployed 137.8 billion in venture capital last quarter while San Francisco managed 57.3 billion, and somehow most VCs are still pretending the Bay Area runs the game. East Coast deals are now averaging 486 million versus West Coast's 253 million, with Boston's deal count surging 44.5 percent while SF crawled at 22.9 percent. The entire venture capital center of gravity has mathematically shifted east while everyone's still optimizing their portfolios for a San Francisco dominance that died three years ago.
