Young Wisconsin companies raised $75 million of venture capital last year – less than a year earlier, but in line with national trends.
Nationally, venture capitalists invested $28.3 billion in 3,808 deals in 2008.
That represented an 8% decline in dollars and a 4% decline in the number of deals, according to the MoneyTree Report, released today by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association.
