  • Global Venture Capital on Track to Hit USD 1TN by 2022 Preqin and Vertex Report Examines the Global Venture Capital Community
    Press Release – For Immediate Release 25th September 2019 _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Global Venture Capital on Track to Hit USD 1TN by 2022 Preqin and Vertex report examines the global venture capital community Preqin and Vertex today jointly launch the Global Venture Capital Perspectives report, which examines the state of the venture capital industry worldwide, and looks at what developments and milestones could come in the next five years. The report finds that venture capital assets under management have doubled over the past five years, reaching $856bn as of December 2018. This puts the industry on track to broach USD 1TN in AUM within the next few years. Growth has come with a boom of activity in the asset class – Preqin now tracks more than 5,000 active venture capital fund managers, and an equivalent number of institutions investing in the space. While the US remains the largest single market for venture capital, it is truly a global industry. The biggest growth story is in Asia, and in China particularly, which is now home to 3 of the 10 largest venture capital funds ever raised. Activity remains focused on sectors like artificial intelligence & machine learning, healthcare technology and the internet of things. Both fundraising and deal activity have been strong in recent years, with intense investor appetite fuelling capital raises, and competitive financing rounds spawning a proliferation of unicorns. But the industry faces challenges too: High valuations are making it difficult to secure attractive deal opportunities, and for some startups the path to a successful exit remains long and difficult. Nonetheless, the outlook for this industry is bright, as venture capital continues to play a fundamental role in nurturing disruptive technologies and spurring entrepreneurial innovation.
