Venture capital fundraising ended 2021 with the biggest numbers ever registered, based on data from a recent report published by industry veterans, at a time when companies across the country emerge out of the pandemic but face an Omicron-tainted recovery.
The best year for Venture Capital (VC) funding saw U.S. companies raise nearly $330 billion, which is almost twice that of $166.6 billion in 2020. “Investment activity (measured in both total dollars invested and total deal count) for seed & angel, early-, and late-stage companies all hit records,” said the Venture Monitor report by data research company Pitchbook, National Venture Capital Association, and human resources firm Insperity.
