Venture Pulse: Q2’16 Report
Venture Pulse: Q2’16 Report
Worldwide VC investment volume slid again by just over 7% between Q1 and Q2 2017. However, thanks to a surge of mega-rounds, the quarter-over-quarter increase in total venture capital invested was a staggering 55.3%. US Initial Public Offering (IPO) activity continued to make a turnaround during the quarter, with a number of technology companies achieving successful exits. In tandem with solid merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, this renewal is a positive sign for the market.

Venture Pulse: Q1’16 Report
Venture Pulse: Q1’16 Report
Globally, venture capital activity slid for the fourth consecutive quarter from 3,201 completed financings in the final quarter of 2016 to 2,716 in Q1'17, representing a decrease of 15.2%. Across the same timeframe, however, total capital invested resurged, as $23.8 billion was invested in Q4 2016 and close to $27 billion in the first quarter of 2017. Despite continued lows, there are positive signs for a turnaround in coming quarters. A significant buildup of dry powder in Asia and the US, coupled with signs that the US IPO market may be opening, bode well for activity during the rest of the year.

KPMG Enterprise’s Global Network for Innovative Startups launched the Q3’17 edition of the Venture Pulse Report. The report analyses the latest global trends in venture capital investment data and provides insights from both a global and regional perspective. This edition of the quarterly series provides in-depth analysis on venture capital investments across North America, EMA and ASPAC and will cover a range of issues such as financing and deal sizes, unicorns, industry highlights and corporate investment.
While the number of VC deals globally continued to decline, the total amount of VC investment remained strong quarter over quarter. The top ten deals globally accounted for almost one-third of total VC funding, highlighting the pivotal role of large deals in the ongoing health of the VC market.
The continued decline in the number of deals, particularly at the earliest deal stages has also shown how investors continue to be cautious with their investments – conducting significant due diligence of potential deals even at the seed and angel funding stages.
In this quarter’s edition of the Venture Pulse Report, we explore these and a number of other global and regional trends, including:
- The rising number of mega-deals across the globe
- The increased due diligence being conducted on deals of all sizes
- The evolution of virtual reality and augmented reality – and its application across sectors
- The growing importance of corporates amid a pullback from “tourist” investors
