Meanwhile, the percentage of money invested in Series B or later has risen from 56% in 1996 to 73% in 2006 (note that seven percent of capital deployed in the first half of 2006 went to restart financings – another post in itself but also a clear sign that the aftermath of the bubble is still with us). Later-stage investments alone have risen over the last 10 years from 33% of venture dollars invested to 49%.
