So one third of all US venture capital in 2006 went to the Bay Area, and almost one half went to the great state of California. It doesn't surprise me but I still think it's pretty amazing.

Matt, There is a big difference between New England (CT northwards) and the red graphic for the Northeast on the blog which contains the great state of Virginia. Can you specify the geography a bit better, I am confused. I could imagine SouthernCal slapping down Boston, but the whole East coast? Say it ain't so...
