Oh no, not another "Silicon Valley is dying"article. Here's the numbers for VC investment in 2018, if anyone is interested. [1] California companies raised $12B and $12.7B in Q2 and Q1 of this year. Almost 90% of this is in the valley. Next is MA at $2.8B. Texas is a DISTANT 5th with $606M. And no Midwestern state even makes an appearance in the top 10. Just this month Lucid motors raised $1bn, Postmates raised $300M and Proterra raised $155M.
