# Where is the early stage venture capital…?

Portland tends to be big on “anecdotal evidence.” You know, like where we claim we’re the “de facto hub” of things…? So I always like it when folks provide some data driven insights to help us better understand what’s happening — or not happening — here in comparison to other startup communities. [Peter Walker of Carta has done just that](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/peterjameswalker_startups-founders-seed-activity-7259248046700441600-9EbB?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop).

While Portland doesn’t come close to ranking, it is interesting to see who does. Our neighbors to the north and, of course, the south have strong showings.
