A: The private company/emerging growth market has several hubs throughout the US and other parts of the globe. But the most active region … by far … is the San Francisco Bay Area. Here, the technology industry dominates the corporate landscape—and shadowing this industry are a bevy of investors including venture capitalists, angel investors, family wealth investors, corporate venture investors—and more.
The San Francisco Bay Area includes the following geographic areas:
- Silicon Valley and South Bay
- San Francisco
- The Peninsula (region between San Francisco and Silicon Valley)
- The East Bay/Oakland; and
- The North Bay (across the Golden Gate Bridge and into Marin County)
