I analyzed recent venture funding data to identify the most active venture capital firms based outside of New York City investing in NYC-based startups across all stages. This analysis focuses on the number of investments rather than deal size and serves as a resource for founders to understand external capital flows into the NYC tech ecosystem. The data shows the number of investments made by each firm in 2025 and the specific NYC startups they invested in during this period.
Important Data Considerations:
Data is current as of March 10, 2026
Analysis excludes NYC-based venture capital firms, investments by accelerator programs including follow-ons, and investments by venture syndicates
Only includes firms actively investing in companies based, founded, and headquartered in NYC
Investment bank deals are not included
The dataset may be incomplete as some rounds are not publicly disclosed or filed
