Florida VC funding grew in 2022 despite nationwide investor pullback

Venture capital investment slumped last year — except for emerging tech markets like Orlando.

Nationally, venture capital investors pumped $238 billion into U.S. startups in 2022 — down 31% from 2021’s record haul of $345 billion, according to Pitchbook Data Inc., a firm that tracks venture funding totals across the country.
