VC Market Is on Pace for Strongest Year Since Dot-Com Era

From a report: Last quarter, VCs spent $27.3 billion in the U.S., according to a report set for publication Tuesday by research firm PitchBook and the National Venture Capital Association, a trade group.

The $57.5 billion invested in startups so far this year has already surpassed the full-year total for six of the past 10 years.
