Key findings in the study include:

• Since the beginning of 2005, more than $1.6 billion of venture capital investment have been received by over 300 different Nashville-based companies.

• More than $940 million was invested in Nashville health care companies by venture capital firms from 2005 through 2015. This amounts to almost 60% of Nashville’s total venture capital investment dollars over that time period.

• Since 2009, annual venture capital investments in Nashville have grown to 450% the 2009 level. This growth in investments well exceeded that of the national venture capital market, where annual venture capital investments grew to only 140% the 2009 level.

• Venture capital investment in Nashville health care IT companies grew from $2 million in 2009 to a peak of $62.5 million in 2014. Venture investment in health care IT companies surpassed that of health care services companies in 2012 and now represents the largest share of venture capital investments in Nashville health care companies.
