Although billions of dollars poured into Florida last year from private equity firms, Orlando got a small slice of it, according to data released form the Private Equity Growth Council and Pitchbook Data Inc., the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Florida ranked fourth nationally, in private-equity funding in 2012.
