The US was the birthplace of the world's venture capital (VC) industry, and Silicon Valley, which is home to half of the US's 600-some VC firms, might be said to be the heart of the US industry. Surprisingly, Taiwan isn't that far behind: it and Israel are second only to the US in terms of the development of their VC industries.
美國是創投事業的發源地，全美六百多家創投業者，一半在矽谷；台灣也不遑多讓，台灣與以色列是僅次於美國，全球創投事業最蓬勃的地區之一。
