Laxman Pai, Opalesque Asia: A study revealed that the US continues to remain the top destination for venture capital (VC) investments globally - it accounted for 55.4% share of the total number of high-value VC deals announced globally during Q1-Q3 2024, while its share in terms of the corresponding value stood at 56.4%.
