Investing in New York Tech

2021 has been a banner year for investments in New York tech, with the city notching new records in both the number and size of new venture capital deals for New York tech companies.

At the end of Q3 2021, New York startups raised $13.3 billion in new funding, beating its own record from the earlier in the year. Q4 has already set yet another record, logging $14.5 billion in new funding so far, at an annual total of more than $49 billion.

New York startups are raising larger amounts of money more quickly. In 2021 alone, there have been more than 150 “megadeal” rounds — investments at $100 million or more. That’s up from 48 megadeals in 2020. 

This year’s megadeals have catapulted at least 17 homegrown companies to unicorn status, further cementing NYC’s standing as one of the most attractive places to build and grow a tech company.
