A Shift in Venture Capital Investments
Venture capital funding for startups has significantly decreased over the past few years, with investments dropping from nearly $700 billion in 2021 to $285 billion last year. This decline has made it more challenging for founders to secure funding. The trend continues in 2024, with Q1 global startup funding totaling $66 billion, similar to 2023. Despite the overall decrease in funding, specific industries like biotech, healthcare, and AI continue to attract substantial investment.
