This morning’s report of a sizeable $23 million funding round for Williamsburg-based mapping startup CartoDB could be a marker of a broader trend in funding.
If it seems like there’s more money coming from the venture capital ecosystem, well there is.
A new report by Mattermark says overall startup funding is up 50 percent from this time last year.
