2013 was a turning point for venture capital.

According to financial services firm Ernst&Young, global venture capital investment in 2013 increased 2 percent compared to 2012, to $48.5 billion. Meanwhile, economic conditions improved in many geographic markets due to increased levels of liquidity and a boost in investor confidence.

The upshot: More investors are competing to invest in promising startups and entrepreneurs, especially outside the U.S.
