Introducing a new platform for strategic growth

America’s Fastest-Growing Startup Cities

The venture capital market showed significant signs of a rebound in Q2 of 2024.

U.S. companies received nearly $31 billion in angel investments and VC funding — a 61% increase over Q1. That’s the most money raised in a quarter since Q2 of 2022.

“Heading into 2024, we expected to see the markets open back up in the second half of the year,” said Joe Raczka, chief investment officer, York IE. “That timetable is now accelerating, as more startups in both traditional and emerging hubs are securing the capital they need to build successful businesses.”
