Data spotlight: Complete list of VC funds raised by U.S.-based firms in H1 2014

American venture capital firms raised $18.3 billion for 146 venture capital funds in the first six months of 2014, according to Thomson Reuters (publisher of Venture Capital Journal). Including previous fundraising periods, those funds have raised a total of just more than $22 billion.

Notably, the mega-fund trend continues to gather momentum. The five largest funds raised in the first half of the year collected $1 billion or more, led by Andreessen Horowitz, which closed on $1.7 billion for Andreessen Horowitz Fund Fund IV; Technology Crossover Ventures, which raised $1.36 billion for TCV VIII; and Norwest Venture Partners, which pulled in $1.2 billion for Norwest Venture Partners XII.

Also worth noting, the 10 largest funds raised a combined $8.9 billion in the first six months of the year, or nearly half of all the capital raised during that period. Looking at it another way, less than 7 percent of the total number of funds accounted for nearly 50 percent of the capital raised.

The last three years have been particularly busy for mega-funds, with 14 funds of $1 billion or more raising a combined $18.2 billion during that period.

During the past decade, 29 funds have raised $1 billion or more. Of that total, 11 funds collectively raised $19.5 billion from 2004 to the end of 2008, while 18 funds have raised about $23 billion since 2009.

Here are the 10 largest funds raised in the first half.
