From the 40 companies financed in the United States, 26 are privately held and 14 are publicly traded companies. Total debt and equity in the capital markets decreased this week, compared to last week, by 24%; Venture capitalists decreased their investments this week by 46% compared to last week and funded only 22 Companies for a total of $233 million. The decrease was primarily explained by the short week. Good Technology was the largest venture capital financing raising $27 million in equity.
