A number of billion-dollar mega-deals over the course of the year, including six $1 billion+ rounds in Q4, drove the significant funding upswing. VC funding was up year-over-year across all regions, including Asia, the Americas and Europe. Meanwhile, the number of deals continued to decline globally during Q4’17, reflecting a shifting investor focus on quality over quantity. Rather than invest in a myriad of different companies, investors at all deal levels have leaned toward placing bigger bets on a smaller group of companies they feel have the strongest path to profitability/potential.While the software sector continued to attract the bulk of VC funding, the biotech and healthech sectors experienced strong growth this year, with pharma & biotech companies alone raising a record high of over $16 billion in VC funding globally.Heading into 2018, the VC market is expected to remain robust, particularly in areas such as AI, biotech, agtech and autotech. With many companies choosing to stay private longer, 2018 is also expected to bring an increase in secondary market activity in order to provide some liquidity to early-stage investors. There is also likely to be a modest increase in IPO activity, particularly in biotech.In this quarter’s edition of the Venture Pulse Report, we examine both annual and Q4’17 VC market trends, including:— The increase in deal size across all deal stages— The rapid upswing in healthtech and biotech— The growing focus on cross industry innovation and applicability— The rapid evolution of France as an innovation center.We hope you find this edition of the Venture Pulse Report insightful.
