I'm glad to see VC still believe in potential SW companies in the Bay Area. Maybe this time early stages and seed phase of start-ups received less large amounts of money than previous quarters, but still a large number of companies received money for their new adventures specially for security, mobility, multimedia, video, networking, web based services and social nets.
