There is a normal lag in investment deal reporting, so we have to wait to see what 2015 will look like. But based on deals reported from January through mid-November 2015 (with comparisons to the same period in 2014) by VentureDeal, we know where the money went in 2015: Cambridge and Boston.

The companies in the ten neighborhoods shown in the map grabbed $5,994,937,014 or 68% of the statewide venture investment.

Mega deals ($100M+) in biotech literally enriched some of the neighborhoods overnight. West Cambridge benefitted from the $600,000,000 infusion into Boston Pharmaceuticals, and $168,000,000 into WaVe Life Sciences. Last year investments totaled only $61,254,564. ModeRNA Therapeutics’ $450,000,000 deal boosted East Cambridge. Fort Point/Seaport had one mega deal: Intarcia Therapeutics, for $225,000,000.

In Downtown Crossing, last year the total invested was $49,482,412. This year: $574,444,550. The difference? DraftKings, which raised $550,000,000 in two rounds. The Financial District also had one mega deal in software: $103,200,000 for Rapid7. Boston had the only mega deals in software.

The best performing area in 2015, Cambridgeport, which includes the Central Square and Area Four neighborhoods, didn’t have any mega deals, but it had nine between $50M-$75M, all in biotech, up from 3 in 2014.

Looking ahead to 2016, many analysts feel the mega deals are a sign of irrational excitement, and warn that a correction will come, sooner than later. Do you think these neighborhoods can maintain the pace in 2016?
