It seems like there are some numbers there but w/o some key intersections.
For example CA is NOT just silicon valley, there's a large startup community in LA. Does the LA ventures bring SV down for the CA totals?
Also it would be interesting to also cross reference this with size of acquisition. Are acquisition's larger in SV?
Finally from looking at these it also appears that being in some sort of tech corridor is beneficial.
Same list sorted by acquisition rate.
The top 8 or so have large tech areas, VA and MD I'm assuming are going to be more gov't and defense related and then a huge decline as you get into the sticks.
WA 8.20%
CA 6.90%
NJ 6.60%
TX 5.90%
CO 5.30%
MA 5.20%
IL 5.00%
NY 4.90%
VA 4.30%
MD 4.30%
GA 1.70%
PA 1.50%
AZ 1.30%
FL 1.20%
NC 1.20%
So it looks like there is at least some value in being in tech related areas.
