California Deal Gravity Bends Venture Space With Surging Growth
from Metagame
LA just deployed 46.5 billion dollars in venture capital this quarter—basically matching San Francisco—but nobody noticed because everyone's still obsessing over the Bay Area. Deal count in LA surged 62.5 percent while San Francisco grew 19 percent, and the average LA check is 511 million dollars compared to SF's 324 million, funding aerospace, defense-tech, and industrial AI instead of consumer software. Meanwhile Menlo Park's deal count collapsed 33 percent, meaning California's venture dominance isn't just continuing—it's actively reshaping which cities actually matter.
