“Large deals for capital-intense industries -- such as renewable energy, healthcare and information technology -- drove the investment increase in the first quarter,” noted Jessica Canning, global research director for Dow Jones VentureSource. “Venture capitalists, however, were not the only investors giving venture-backed companies sizable cash infusions. With acquisition prices on the rise, corporations are more inclined to invest and they funded three of the 10 largest deals confirmed during the quarter.”

In total, corporations, venture capital firms, angels and the rest invested $6.4 billion in 661 deals for U.S.-based venture companies during Q1 2011, according to Dow Jones VentureSource, a 35 percent rise in investment and five percent decrease in deals when compared with the same quarter last year. The median amount for a round rose to $5 million, a slight increase from $4.4 million a year ago, but about the same as the 2009 figure.
