The Super Bowl isn't the only arena where Washington and Colorado are going head to head. Comparing the states' bustling venture capital scenes reveals an intriguing matchup.

PitchBook has created a side-by-side comparison between Washington and Colorado's venture capital activity, along with hand-picked awards for some VC MVPs.
