Global VC Investment Slump Continues in Q3, Though Europe Bucks the Trend

Global VC investment continued to decline in Q3 2022, following the trend of the last few quarters.

Europe is bucking the downward trend, with VC deal activity increasing in recent quarters.

Declines are being seen across most sectors, though AI startups continue to raise substantial funding.

Q3 2022 saw the lowest quarterly deal count globally since Q3 2020.

Factors like tech IPO performance, interest rates, and web3 investment declines may be contributing to the VC slump.
