PALO ALTO, U.S. -- Global venture capital investment jumped 49% in 2017 to a record-high $164.4 billion, with the majority of growth coming in Asia, not North America as in years past.
Investment in unlisted emerging companies rose 17% in North America amid a relative lull in Silicon Valley deals but more than doubled in Asia, according to data from venture capital tracker CB Insights and accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers.
