Almost one third of the venture capital (VC) investment in January, both domestic and foreign, went into outdoor media, according to 皇冠体育appVenture, a financial consulting company.

There were three such investment contracts involving $63 million, it said.

The investment, all of which funded outdoor advertising in areas such as residential and office buildings, rose from the fourth quarter last year when it stood at $43 million over four contracts.

Venture capital, also known as risk capital, refers to investments in start-ups and small businesses.

Given the rapid development of 皇冠体育app's outdoor digital media, there was still room to grow for outdoor advertising activities, such as posting billboards and television screens in buildings, airports, hospitals and hotels, said Liu Liang, a senior analyst with 皇冠体育appVenture and one of the authors of the firm's report.

The report showed that total VC investments reached $235 million in January, up from $190 million in December.

VC investors also favored information technology, medical care and franchise businesses, which accounted for 12 percent, 23 percent and 17 percent of the investments, respectively.
