State by State Venture Capital Investments: None for Montana

California (46.4%) and Massachusetts (12.3%) again dominated third quarter investments by reporting venture capital firms for the VentureOne-Ernst and Young report released this week. Other states attracting more than 2% of investments include Florida, Washington, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Colorado and Georgia. Florida’s appearance in a distant thrid rung of the ladder is a bit unusual.

14 states had no reported venture deals in the July, August, September stretch. Again, they were made up of the usual ‘fly-over’ suspects, including Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Iowa, Kentucky, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Oklahoma, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming.

List below is a state by state look at the number and amount of reported investmentsd in the 3rd quarter of this year and last and the first three quarters of each year:
