Changes

Note that if we exclude 2000 (i.e. consider 2001 to 2017 inclusive), the overall average growth rate drops to 0.2812, and some cities, like Houston, have materially lower growth rates. It is worth noting that Houston had one big up year in 2013, where growth VC investment levels where 2.168 times the previous year, but then suffered a about a 50% mean reversion in the following years. Without 2013, Houston's average 2001 to 2017 growth rate is - -0.0197349989630022.
