While 2022 is proving to be yet another year for the record books when it comes to venture capital activity, analysts are anticipating a slowdown in the new year.
According to PitchBook's recent "2023 US Venture Capital Outlook" report, analysts expect VC fundraising will fall between $120 billion and $130 billion next year — far less than the $300+ billion invested in 2021 — as exit activity has been down in 2022 and investors are grappling with liquidity issues. There's been about $63.4 billion in exit value generated year to date, per PitchBook's report, released in November.
