State of the Venture Capital Industry in 2019

June 20, 2019

The year of 2018 saw a total of $254 billion invested globally into ~18,000 startups via venture capital financing—a 46% leap from 2017’s figures—with 52% ($131 billion) landing in the US alone. 2019 figures are still coming to light, but initial reports show that 2018’s pace has abated to an extent. Crunchbase data shows first quarter deal volumes of $75 billion, a growth of just 6% YoY. The reasoning behind this slowdown points primarily to dampening appetite for Chinese investments.
