25% of VC money invested into Carta startups has gone to the San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley MSA since Jan 1, 2022.
But there's a lot more to startups than just the Bay.
Really excited to start building on top of this MSA dataset over the coming weeks. Even at a glance, you can tell that different locations have built expertise in a variety of industries.
Biotech lives in Boston and San Diego.
Consumer hangs out on the beach in LA.
Renewable Energy has a strong foothold in Seattle.
Fintech just won't quit NYC.
Let me know what you think of the animations as well - got a lot of other movement ideas if they help tell the right stories!
