VC dollars are pouring into the on-demand economy, the world of apps enabling shipping, food delivery, home cleaning, car rides, laundry and a host of other offline services.  We break down what’s been happening in on-demand mobile services in 9 charts.

In 2013, on-demand mobile startups raised $672M across 54 deals. Just a year later, funding ballooned to $4.12B in 2014. The funding explosion has continued into 2015 as giant funding rounds including to Uber and Lyft have lifted funding in just the first four months of 2015 to $3.78B across just under half the deals tracked in 2014.

Many parents today recall childhoods where we were pushed out of the house by our parents, while told simply to “go outside and play.” But our children seem to be growing up in a different world: one filled with scheduled activities, hovering parents, and a lot of screen time. A new startup called Tinkergarten, now backed by half a million in seed funding, wants to change that by offering a technology platform that enables a distributed workforce to host play-based learning classes for kids that take place outdoors in parks and other green spaces.

Start-Up Chile SCALE, the follow-on fund backed by the Chilean government to boost local startup growth, is making its first nine investments.

The nine companies, all graduates of Start-Up Chile’s past three classes, will receive $100K each in equity-free funding. In exchange, the founders agree to keep their companies in Chile for at least a year and serve as mentors to three Chilean startups while they’re there.

Sebastian Vidal, director of Start-Up Chile, calls this “social equity.”

Search for information about Infinidat, the latest data storage company founded by industry legend Moshe Yanai, and you’ll come up with surprisingly little. At least, you would until today.

That’s likely to change after Infinidat announced Wednesday it has raised $150 million in a Series B round led by TPG Growth, the venture capital fund of the private equity firm TPG. The round values Infinidat at $1.2 billion post-investment, and it brings the total raised by the company to $230 million.

Some four years into its existence, Blueprint—the New York City-based healthtech startup incubator—has now helped launch 60 companies. That includes the seven that debuted on Friday at the latest Blueprint demo day at the City Winery in SoHo. The new group, toting digital health solutions for insurance brokers, dieticians, and other health providers, is Blueprint’s seventh graduating class.

So what type of progress are all these companies making?
