We analyzed the [4,800+ funding rounds in the U.S.](https://www.fundz.net/average-series-a-funding) year to date of greater than or equal to $100k. Here are some interesting [startup data](https://www.fundz.net/startup-database-funding-trends) points from 2019:

1. New York leads all cities in number of deals, with almost 450 startups raising $100k or more so far in 2019.
2. Redwood City's name is spot on related to deal sizes. Despite only 19 deals YTD, startups in the city have raised over $770 million, with an average deal size of over $42 million.
3. Startups in Palo Alto have raised almost $1 billion year to date. With a population of 67k, that's almost $15k per resident.
4. Massachusetts has 3 cities (Boston, Cambridge and Waltham) in the top 20 total funded year to date; California dominates the pack with 10 of the top 20.
5. The average [Series A financing](https://www.fundz.net/what-is-series-a-funding-series-b-funding-and-more) round is now $13.22 million, hovering around an all-time high.
6. Massachusetts dominates all states in funding for pharmaceutical companies, with almost half a billion year to date funded. That's almost twice the funding of #2 California and no other state is even close.
7. The median funding amount of the 4,800 plus fundings of 100k or more was $1.86 million
8. 8 of the top 10 startup fundings year to date are in California; six of those are in San Francisco, including 4 of the top 5.
