When D.C. edtech company EverFi announced its $190 million round on April 26, it was widely reported as the third largest edtech venture deal in history.

Yet, what we haven't talked about is how at the same time, EverFi's round also became the second largest venture deal in the D.C. metro area in the past 10 years.

According to data pulled by Pitchbook for DC Inno, only LivingSocial's $400 million deal in 2011 outsizes EverFi.
