Inland Northwest Venture Capital Report
Cara Stone, LLP (“Cara Stone”) is pleased to present the Venture and Angel Capital Report (the “Report”), covering venture and angel capital activity in the Inland Northwest from 2011 to 2018.
The Venture and Angel Capital Report was started in Louisiana in 2014 and quickly became the definitive analytical document gauging the health and activity of venture and angel deal activity in the state. Government departments, economic development groups, and legislative bodies responsible for incentivizing venture and angel deals use the Report to inform policy. Companies and investors use the Report to benchmark deal terms and investment strategies in deals.
Vibrant, high-growth companies continue to emerge from markets that are outside of the traditional coastal ecosystems. Until now, we believe there has been a lack of information on the venture capital landscape in these markets. This report was designed to give companies, investors, and policymakers insight into the deals taking place in their market, the natural clusters that are forming, and the trends that are emerging over time.
Below is an outline of the report’s findings. To view the full report with specifics on fundraising terms in the Inland Northwest, fill out the form below.
