1. Venture capital (VC) fundraising was unprecedented in H1 2022. Despite a slowdown in H2, funds closed out the year with nearly $22B to invest into healthcare companies, second only to the record $28B raised in 2021. With over $50B fundraised in the past two years, venture healthcare has the largest war chest of investable capital ever.
2. Healthcare Investment declined in both deals and dollars each quarter after setting a record in 2021. Total healthcare investment for the year still exceeded 2020, making 2022 the second-largest year ever, though Q3 and Q4 fell below 2020’s quarterly average.
