With angel investment and venture capital to pure play iPhone and iPad startups jumping 220% from last year, we wanted to no only look at the amount of money flowing to these startups, but also the source of this funding. As detailed in the graphs below, almost 60% of the deals were led solely by VCs and 18% by angels. Interestingly, VCs and angels partnered in about 1/4 of the investments in pure play iPhone and iPad startups.
Not surprisingly, the amount of funding via angels was significantly less than that from venture capital firms or the collaborations between angels and VCs.
