…and only the best ideas
get funding
In order to grow, companies need to access to capital. Investment volume for Southern California-
based companies remains high as other markets become overly saturated. The continued flow of
new capital is putting both startups and mature companies in positions to expand. Tech firms
currently located in Southern California and those looking to relocate here can see investment
activity is strong in the market. Recent large investment rounds include Snap ($2B), Fair ($1B),
SecureAuth ($200M), Brain Corporation ($114M), and Cylance ($100M), demonstrating the wide
spectrum of industries raising capital.
