RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – A new report from Crunchbase finds that North Carolina is the state with the second-highest increase, on a percentage basis, in venture capital invested in startup companies, behind Michigan, between 2016 and 2020.
According to the data from Crunchbase, North Carolina firms brought in $4.1 billion in 2020, compared to $800 million in 2016, which is nearly a 410 percent increase.
Of course, Epic Games raised $1.5 billion in 2020 in one mega-round, and AvidXchange raised a combined $572 million.
Let’s not forget the rapid rise of nCino in Wilmington (now public) and other unicorns such as Raleigh-based Pendo.
Without large funding rounds, North Carolina’s totals, and its rank among the states, look a little bit different.
RALEIGH – For the second time in seven months, Jesse Lipson is filling his coffers.
The four-time 42-year-old founder has landed another $8 million for his latest venture, a software company called Real Magic. That’s on top of $6 million raised last July, bringing total fundraising to $20 million.
Its first product, aptly called Levitate, is a “keep-in-touch” marketing platform that helps businesses grow. A little more than two years after launching, Lipson says it’s taking off.
“Given all of the uncertainty in the world, we decided that having some extra money on the balance sheet was a good idea,” Lipson told WRAL TechWire.
