We had $84B in VC investments in 2017, the most I believe ever and the second most in SF (2015 had more) and Santa Clara county increased as well.

- speedplane 8y agoAgreed. There are plenty of reasons to hate on SF and the tech scene there, but a lack of VC funding isn’t one.
- dawhizkid 8y agoI didn’t say anything about lack of funding. This funding is increasingly going to a few growth stage startups (SoftBank model) in larger amounts. I’m saying the tiny 2 person startup working out of a shared apartment in Soma has some serious headwinds nowadays to hiring and growing in SF these days.
