After a record-breaking Q4’21, total venture funding has dropped by 19% — though valuations have skyrocketed.
The global unicorn count hit a new high in Q1’22, even as new unicorn births saw a 15% drop.
M&A exits rose for the 7th consecutive quarter, but public exits have plummeted.
We discuss these trends plus the latest on global mega-rounds, SPACs, the top investors in fintech, emerging tech hubs, and much more in our State of Venture Q1’22 webinar.
