What about Better Place? They raised at least $200M plus the various commitments from Macquarie, the government of Denmark, for billions more etc.

I’m also not sure that Modu actually raised $120M. Their Crunchbase page says $85M, and I know that they had some major layoffs based on not raising as much as they had counted on (although hopefully it now looks like they are on the upswing again).

Dang, there are quite a few ‘well funded’ startups out there. On the other hand, with the burn rate Facebook and co has they might not be for so much longer..

@ Mark Hendrickson
I think you missed one cardinal point. Most of the start-ups on the list have already spent the money they raised. It is not like they just raised the amounts stated above.

The aforementioned start-ups had to raise large amounts in the past due to their high burn rates. Assuming the start-ups keep their burn rates, they would have much more trouble weathering the current financial crisis, unless the respective VCs are willing to pump in more money.
