Cumulative total nears $7.3 billion: Overall, on a cumulative basis, W eb 2.0 financings have totalled just over $7.3 billion, with the majority of the financing coming in late 2007 and the first three quarters of 2008 (Figure 6). Financing for the second quarter of 2009 marginally passed that raised in the first quarter of 2009 – the second straight quarter of increased investments. However, for the period ended Q2/CY09, total capital raised was below the Q2/CY08 level. The total capital raise in Q2/09 was $697.0 million buoyed by the $200 million Facebook transaction and is well below Q2/CY08 totals ($1.4 billion).
