Our Market


During calendar year 2007, U.S. venture capital funds invested a total of $29.4 billion in 3,813 deals, an increase of 10.8 percent over 2006 levels and the highest total dollar amount since 2001 according to The MoneyTree Report by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association based on data from Thompson Financial.

Despite the financial turmoil precipitated by the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fueled sub-prime mortgage fiasco of 2008, total U.S. venture capital activity still exceeded $28 billion for the year.

Following the election of the least market liberal president in U.S. history, venture capital activity in the United States plummeted with approximately $3.2 billion invested in Q1 2009, $3.7 billion in Q2 and $4.8 billion in Q3.

T
otal activity of U.S.-based venture funds is now projected to top out for 2009 at less than $16 billion, about half that of 2008 and substantially less than during any calendar year of the past decade.

Still, some, like Tracy Lefteroff, managing partner of the venture capital practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers, see the upturn in Q3 investments as a move in the right direction,

"The increase in venture capital investing this quarter is very encouraging. We're likely to see the pace of investing continue to strengthen over the next several quarters.”
