These are the top venture capital firms of 2021

Finding investors for your startup can be hard and very challenging. One of the traditional avenues for founders to raise funding for their startups is through venture capital firms. Venture capital (VC) is a type of private equity financing that is provided by venture capital firms. These VC firms invest in promising startups, early-stage, and emerging companies with high growth potential, or companies that have already shown impressive growth.

Despite recent COVID-19 pandemic challenges, venture capital firms are still seeking out investment opportunities across the country. According to the National Venture Capital Association, the  U.S has 10,400 active venture capital firms managing over 2,200 active venture funds, and more than $444 billion in venture capital (VC) assets under management (AUM) as of 2019.
