DFW Venture Capital Investments

I just stumbled upon a statistic that will be discouraging to those of us in the Dallas-Fort Worth venture capital community.  The Dallas Business Journal recently reported that DFW companies raised only $714 million in 38 venture capital tranactions in 2010. That's down from $2.8 billion in 137 transactions in 2000.  Hopefully, that means the venture arrow can only point up from here!
