US VC remains strong while navigating market of uncertainty
Despite many data points remaining historically high, the first quarter of 2022 showed signs of a slowdown for venture dealmaking in the US, suggesting the onset of an imminent but healthy recalibration period. On the exit front, rising interest rates, inflation and geopolitical uncertainty contributed to a stark dip in the number of public listings.
The latest PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor, sponsored by Insperity and JP Morgan, details how dealmaking, exits, fundraising and valuations responded to the changing economic climate during Q1.
