Take a look back at 2014’s biggest series A funding rounds across Asia (INFOGRAPHIC)

2014 was a banner year for Asia’s startup ecosystem at large. The year saw some of the biggest tech investments the region has ever seen, a blockbuster exit, and the rise of Silicon Valley-level funds by Asian investors.

Every country in Asia seems to have a flagship startup that dominates the headlines, but it’s difficult to compare the ecosystem at large against its star player (or players). To even the playing field and get a better idea of where the investment money is flowing, we dug into the Tech in Asia archives to nail down each country’s biggest series A round in 2014. By narrowing the field to series A funding exclusively, you can get an idea of where younger startups are getting the most support and what verticals are attracting the most VC attention.

Please note that the following data is for disclosed investments only. While some startups very well may have attracted larger sums, it’s left to pure speculation if the amount hasn’t been made public. If you’re aware of a larger A round for any of the nine countries listed – or for a country in Asia that didn’t make it on this list – please let us know in the comments section below.
