2012 was a decent year for U.S. venture capital firms raising money to invest in startups and young companies.
Investors raised $20.6 billion from 182 funds last year, a 10 percent increase by dollar commitments from 2011, according to Thomson Reuters and the National Venture Capital Association. The number of funds fell 3 percent from a year ago.
In 2011, investors raised $18.7 billion from 187 funds, according to the report released today.
Fundraising slowed in the fourth quarter.
During the last three months of the year, 42 venture capital funds raised $3.3 billion. That?s down from 54 funds raising $6.2 billion in the same period last year.
Only one Dallas area fund raised money in the fourth quarter: Naya Ventures with $4.55 million.
The Dallas-based firm launched in December a new $50 million fund focused on early-stage mobile and cloud companies.
