Seed VC Funding in Bay Area on Pace for Record Year

Seed funding in the San Francisco area appears to be on pace for another record year.  Seed deals in 2013 have seen a massive push towards the mobile sector with a contraction to the online sector.  Seed funding to both San Francisco and Silicon Valley reached over $192M across 242 deals in the first half of 2013 alone.  To put this in perspective, this is more than all of 2010 and nearly comparable to 2011 investment funding and deal levels.

The Bay Area seed investment portfolio has seen a steady increase in internet seed deals since 2010.  Though, unless there is a large push in the back half of 2013, it looks like internet see deals will be less than 2012.
