Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Armed with some data from our friends at CrunchBase, I broke down the 14 largest rounds in New York during the month of October.  I have included some additional information such as industry, round type, investors in the round, and date of funding to further the analysis for the state of venture capital in NYC.  To maintain a focus on tech-enabled startups, real estate and biotech companies were excluded.
