Report: venture capital showers region with cash

Private equity money — despite some outsized opposite examples — has been staying away from Florida, according to a new report from the Florida Council of 100, a Tampa-based, statewide nonprofit that promotes economic development.  

But while private equity sits, venture capital, usually with investors more willing to take risks, has been showering Florida with cash, adds the report, entitled Project Sunrise: Florida Economic Competitiveness Strategy.
