Report: VC Investments Up 15%, but Remain at Mid-1990s Levels

Washington - Venture capital investment activity rose 15% in the second quarter to $3.7 billion, up from $3.2 billion the previous quarter, according to a report from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA).

Based on year-to-date figures, the groups predicted in their MoneyTree Report that final 2009 figures most likely will mirror levels seen in 1996 and 1997.

"Halfway through 2009 we are seeing more positive signs than at the beginning of the year, including an overall increase in investment levels and an ongoing interest in seed and early stage funding," said Mark Heesen, president of the NVCA.

"However, until we see notable upticks in venture fundraising and exit activity... we won't expect considerable increases in the number of deals completed each quarter."
