Bubble chatter probably isn’t going away anytime soon it seems. After Q1’14 saw venture capital investment hit its highest quarterly mark since Q2’01, investors deployed 39% more capital across 11% more deals. In aggregate, H1’14 saw U.S. VC funding leap to $23.87B, a 71% increase versus H1’13. The number of U.S. tech companies that raised their first financing at a $1B+ valuation has jumped as well – and represents a 133% increase from the total number of companies that raised at a $1B+ valuation in all of 2013.
