Bay Area leads national VC funding

• The Bay Area’s share of VC funding currently accounts for over half of the nation’s total funding heading into the end of Q4 2024. Even more remarkably, this marks the region's second-largest year for VC funding, surpassed only by the record-breaking figures of 2021.
   
• Investor appetite has been largely fueled by the tech sector and more specifically, in AI. This bodes well for the region, as over half of this funding has been directed towards early-stage companies, paving the way for these rapidly growing firms to expand their office presence.
