September remains slow financing month: Only eight financing transactions have been announced in September, with the largest transaction thus far the $9 million financing for InXpo (Virtual W orlds).

Total capital raised in August was $208.5 million, averaging $7.7 million (27 deals); July on 35 transactions was $191.4 million, averaging $5.5 million; and June (42 deals) was $204.7 million (averaging $4.9 million).

After the biggest rise last week, DigitalTown (OTCBB:DGTW ) fell the most with a -14.3% return, while Quepasa (OTCBB:QPSA) had the best return, rising 25% in the week.

Mint acquired for $170 million: Just one month after raising $14 million, and three years exactly after winning TechCrunch40’s $50,000 grand prize, Mint.com agreed to be acquired by Intuit for $170 million. Investors had sunk a total of ~$32 million into Mint. An acquisition that did not work out for investors was the $1.3 million transaction for Tiny Pictures, acquired by ShutterFly, which had raised over $10 million previously.
