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 the first quarter of 2026 and the specific NYC startups they invested in during this period.
Important Data Considerations:
- Data is current as of April 13, 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
