Over the past six months, VC has invested a total of $57 billion, according to Mattermark data, which has allowed 2015 to surpass the 2000-year trend in venture capital investment. So, which areas are the most popular quinge in the wind investment today?

Compare the 12 most favored areas of American venture capital with a typical US reference, and sketch out the share of investment in different areas of the venture capital in various months. The Red line refers to the monthly venture capital investment share, the blue Line points out the general trend of development, the shadow part refers to the corresponding standard error.

As you can see, VC investments in biotechnology, financial technology, healthcare, and social networking have continued to grow. On the contrary, in the area of analysis and e-commerce compared to the previous era of scenery, now attract more and fewer wind investment money.

If we compare the seed investment and growth investment of startups in these areas, we will find that different trends will emerge. For example, even though startups in the e-commerce sector have earned more than 15 percent of the wind investment over the past year, they have gained less than 11 percent of their investment in the growth phase. Commercial software companies, by contrast, do not seem to be getting as much as they should in the seed phase, and the investment they have gained over the growth period is far more than they expected.

What is most surprising here is that the market, the education and analysis of start-ups in the seed period and growth period of the wind investment gold, the huge difference, that is, long-term investment accounted for only about 1/3 of the seed period level. This bodes well for the market's transformation from a start to a less bullish one.

The above data reveal the trend of wind investment in different areas, but unfortunately, they have no way to show which area has a higher return on investment, or where a great start-up company will be born in the field!
