The survey analyzed the valuations and terms of venture financings for 115 technology and life science companies headquartered in the Silicon Valley/San Francisco Bay Area that reported raising capital during the fourth quarter of 2005.
The results show that Fenwick & West's Venture Capital Barometer(TM) -- the measurement of change in share price of Silicon Valley companies funded during the quarter compared with their previous financing round -- was up 45%.
'This is the largest increase since the survey began,' said Barry Kramer, partner in the firm and co-author of the survey. 'The results represent a continuation of the strong positive trend in venture valuations that we have seen over the last two years.' "
