From Q2 2012 to Q1 2015, technology companies in 17 different cities in the state of North Carolina received funding by venture capital investors.
The cluster of Raleigh, Durham, Research Triangle Park, Morrisville and Chapel Hill received the lion's share of technology investor interest. This region is anchored by the highly regarded Duke University.
Coming in fourth place for activity was the city of Charlotte, with 30 investments during the three year period. Perhaps with a greater focus on new technologies commercialized from University Research Park, the "Metrolina" region may make inroads on the more active Triangle in the future.
