Investing into the healthcare industry is always a gamble. Government regulations and scientific limitations are two of many factors that not only influence, but dictate the success or failures of a company in the healthcare industry. Nevertheless, venture capital investors made a significant impact in providing financing options for healthcare companies from 2004 to 2012.
Interestingly, when monitoring these investment transactions since 2012, the number of venture financing deals in the healthcare sector has steadily decreased. Although the investment into the pharmaceutical sector is less of a concern, the medtech industry is the driving force behind the decrease in ability to raise venture capital.
