For the last several years, I have highlighted the most active NYC venture firms. Today, I change gears and look at the venture firms, located outside of the city, that are most actively investing in NYC companies based on deal count across all stages of the venture cycle. As NYC’s positioning in the global startup ecosystem grows in importance and the NYC tech ecosystem continues to mature, I expect that investment dollars from outside of NYC will continue to pour into the city’s economy, led largely by Silicon Valley-based investors. Included for each firm is the number of investments made in NYC startups in 2020 and the names of the NYC startups that the venture firms invested in during the year.
While examining the data, it is important to keep the following in mind as these factors do have an impact on the data:
- The data is current as of 1/26/21.
- Only Non-NYC venture capital firms were considered for this analysis. This does not include data from accelerator programs.
- Only venture firms that do not have their headquarters in NYC were considered; some of these firms may have local offices in the city.
- The number of investments reflects total firm investments in companies that are based, founded, and headquartered in NYC.

- Investments from investment banks and other non-venture firms are not included.
- Our data set is not 100% complete, some rounds are not disclosed nor have regulatory filing and therefore are not included in this analysis.
