Today’s Chart of the Week looks at aggregate funding amounts for each state from January 2021 to May 2023 (based on startup HQ locations).
- Startups based in California raised an aggregate of $789 million in the online equity and debt crowdfunding markets across both RegCF and RegA raises. This sum is nearly 4x the next closest state.
- This is not surprising as California is home to the most robust startup scene in the world.
- New York ranked second, with startups raising nearly $200 million here.
- Rounding out the top 5 are Texas ($125 million), Nevada ($120 million), and Florida ($109 million).
- These three states have newly emerged as popular places to start new businesses, so it is not surprising to see them rounding out the top 5 states.
- The only two states with $0 in equity crowdfunding raised were Nebraska and West Virginia.
Wall Street has Morningstar, S&P, and Bloomberg
The equity crowdfunding market has KingsCrowd.
