Silicon Valley offers an array of established VC companies and also smaller investor groups and individual angel investors, providing varying levels of capital for different sized companies.

VC funding is a phenomenon associated with high-tech clusters, where Silicon Valley is a prime example. VC companies like to take a hands-on approach with close monitoring of their portfolio companies, often using their own networks to promote their companies. Therefore a local head office or subsidiary, as well as local established clients or partners are a definite plus when seeking funding from Silicon Valley sources.

Having said that, with the broader availability of funding here and the various levels of investors, there are always opportunities for funding for companies with the next hot technology.
