Global venture funding saw $108.5B raised across 7,651 deals last quarter — marking the biggest quarterly percentage drop in deals (and the second-largest drop in funding) in a decade. Despite this eye-opening decline, funding and deal totals remain above levels last seen in 2020.

US-based companies accounted for nearly half of all funding, with some of the largest rounds of the quarter going to Epic Games, SpaceX, and Intersect Power.

Q2 highlights across the venture ecosystem:

  • Mega-rounds ($100M+) accounted for $50.5B in funding, a 31% fall from the previous quarter.
  • M&A deals trended down for the first time in 8 quarters, dropping to 2,502 — a 6-quarter low. IPOs and SPACs dropped by 15% and 26% QoQ, respectively. ​
  • For the first time since Q4’20, fintech startups accounted for less than a fifth of all funding.
