Source: Economic Alliance of Greater Baltimore Assessment, using data from PWCMoneyTree and the National Venture Capital Association, 2008. Note: In most cases data is not available by metro area; this chart uses the closest geographic entity available, such as state or boader region, as a proxy for each. *The only proxy for Pittsburgh is Pennsylvania; however the Philadelphia metro received the vast majority of PA VC funding, as evidenced by its #9 ranking.
