VC Investors Support Matters of the Heart
February 14, 2013
In honor of a certain heart-themed holiday, not to mention Aviir’s $20 million victory (see the full story in today’s newsletter), we took to the PitchBook Platform to see which heart-healthy companies are feeling the VC love. Since the beginning of 2010, VC investors have pumped a total of $2.23 billion into 119 different U.S.-based companies working to keep our tickers healthy. Representing more than 66% of all capital invested during this time frame, the Healthcare Devices & Supplies sector has a particularly powerful pulse. Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology makes up another 31%, and the remaining 3% is distributed across the Software, Healthcare Technology Systems and Healthcare Services sectors. Spanning 174 deals, the median deal size comes out to a hearty $6.68 million.
