This not only set an all-time high in terms of disbursements in 1400 any quarter in United States history, but exceeded the second-best quarter by 57%. Indeed, of the top $100 five quarters ever recorded in terms of dollars invested, four have occurred since Q1 2020, while of the 1200 top 25 states, 24 of them received more capital invested in Q1 2021 than in the same period last year. The average venture capital round size in the quarter also exceeded $40 million for the first time in $80 1000 history. 800 While the 1,543 venture capital deals recorded in the first quarter was not itself an all-time high, it did $60 represent the most deals completed in twenty years, when 1,845 deals were completed in Q4 2000, and round sizes were only $12.3 million on average. 600 $40 400 FIVE VENTURE INVESTMENTS OVER $1 BILLION COMPLETED $20 200 While four venture-stage investments $1 billion or greater, totaling $8.4 billion, were completed in all of 2020, in the first quarter of 2021 alone there were five such investments recorded totaling $10.2 billion. $0 0 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 They included Robinhood Markets, Rivian Automotive, Cruise Automation, GoBrands, and Databricks. Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 # of Q1 Deals Among top investors in United States companies in the first quarter, those completing more than 25 rounds apiece included Andreessen Horowitz, Tiger Global, Insight Venture Management, and Sequoia Capital. Venture Capital Deal Volumes by Stage In the first quarter, information technology companies secured $41.3 billion, life sciences companies completed rounds totaling $10.9 billion, while traditional sector companies closed rounds totaled the 100% remaining $9.8 billion. 90% UNITED STATES VENTURE CAPITAL FUNDRAISING REACHES NEW HIGH 80% Venture capital fundraising in the United States in the first quarter also set new historical records, with 70% $33.1 billion raised in 237 funds, the first quarter to beat the previous quarterly highs set in 1999 and 2000, both in terms of dollars raised and in the number of funds closed. The last quarter in which more 60% than 200 United States venture funds held a closing was in the fourth quarter of 2000. Eight funds held closings of $1 billion or greater in the first quarter of 2021. 50% 40% UNITED STATES VENTURE CAPITAL-BACKED EXITS STAY STRONG 30% United States venture backed exits totaled $50.5 billion in the first quarter, in 191 deals. While this may 20% not have been a record-breaking quarter, it did nonetheless represent the most exits completed in a first quarter since 2014, and the third strongest quarter on record in terms of dollar values. The quarter saw 10% seven exits over $5 billion, as reverse takeovers became a more prevalent exit technique. 0% 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Q1 2021 Seed Early Stage Expansion Later Stage An LSEG Company 1 Investments First Quarter 2021 | United States Venture Capital Review Top U.S. Venture Capital Deals Top Investors in U.S. Venture Capital Deals Deal Value Company Name Deal Date (US$mil) Sector Location Firm Name Rank # of Deals Estimated Investment (US$mil) Andreessen Horowitz LLC 1 40 $1,064.8 Robinhood Markets Inc 1-Feb $3,400.0 Investment Software California Tiger Global 2 38 $1,227.2 Insight Venture Management LLC 3 29 $925.4 Rivian Automotive LLC 18-Jan $2,650.0 Electric Vehicles California Sequoia Capital Operations LLC 4 26 $1,349.3 Y Combinator Inc 5 24 $159.8 Cruise Automation Inc 19-Jan $2,000.0 Self-Driving Vehicles Michigan Accel Partners & Co Inc 6 23 $261.0 Google Ventures 7 22 $275.4 GoBrands Inc 23-Mar $1,150.0 Delivery Services Pennsylvania Ra Capital Management LP 8 22 $217.5 Connecticut Innovations Inc 9 22 $10.6 Databricks Inc 1-Feb $1,000.0 Data & Analytics California Deer Management Co LLC 10 21 $362.7 Space Exploration General Catalyst Partners LLC 11 21 $223.5 23-Feb $850.0 Aerospace California Technologies Corp 8VC 12 20 $220.7 New Enterprise Associates Inc 13 18 $587.9 Thrasio LLC 11-Feb $759.0 E-Commerce Massachusetts Henderson Global Investors Ltd 14 18 $165.7 Coatue Management L L C 15 17 $1,065.2 UiPath Inc 11-Feb $750.0 Process Automation New York BlackRock Inc 16 17 $241.0 Greycroft Partners LLC 17 17 $208.3 Stripe Inc 14-Mar $600.0 Online Payments California Index Ventures SA 18 16 $661.7 Casdin Capital LLC 19 16 $251.8 Sila Nanotechnologies Inc 26-Jan $590.0 Engineered Materials California Logos Global Management LLC 20 16 $164.2 Salesforce Ventures LLC 21 15 $214.8 EQRx Inc 11-Jan $570.0 Pharmaceuticals Massachusetts Felicis Ventures LLC 22 14 $151.2 Lightspeed Management Company LLC 23 14 $142.9 ElevateBio LLC 15-Mar $525.0 Gene Therapy Massachusetts Menlo Ventures 24 14 $100.6 Norwest Venture Partners 25 14 $85.6 Venture Capital Investments by State Top Venture Capital Deals by U.S. Firms Investing Abroad 01/01/2021 - 3/31/2021 01/01/2020 - 03/31/2020 YoY % YoY % Deal Value State Value ($mil) # of Deals Value ($mil) # of Deals Chg.

  • Private Equity Firms Fueling the Growth of Electronic Trading June
    Private Equity Firms Fueling the Growth of Electronic Trading June 23, 2007 Article Excepts: Steve McLaughlin, managing partner in Financial Technology Partners, the only investment banking firm focused exclusively on financial technology deals, insists the trend is going to continue because there's always innovation in the space, but maybe not at the current pace. "It's going to slow because so much attention has been brought to this space recently," he says. "A lot of the better later-stage companies [already] have done their transactions." McLaughlin — who gave Liquidnet its eye-popping $1.8 billion valuation in 2005, which resulted in a $250 million investment from TCV and Summit Equity Investors — points to Liquidnet as an example. "Liquidnet is a very simple idea — the business plan and the idea you could write on the back of a postage stamp," he contends. "It was very elegant in the way that [the company] put it together and marketed itself as the Napster of electronic trading. ... Financial technology is more about using existing technologies to solve complex problems." FT Partner's McLaughlin, however, says, "There are still plenty of deals out there. A lot of the companies getting finance were created five or six years ago. There are plenty of firms being created now that in five or six years will be looking for capital. But a lot of the really good companies have been pursued by these private equity firms" Full Article: It's good to be in the financial technology industry these days — especially if your company is getting calls from private equity firms looking to invest in one of the economy's hottest growth sectors.
