2021 set a new record for venture capital investments in the United States. In 2021, the value of venture capital investments in the U.S. amounted to approximately 345 billion U.S. dollars, nearly twice as much as the previous year. Venture capital is defined as temporary equity investment in young, innovative, non-listed companies that stand out on the market. Although the companies lack the current earning power, they have above average growth potential, which makes them an attractive investment opportunity. In 2022, the value of venture capital invested was nearly 241 billion U.S. dollars.
The peak in VC deal value can be attributed to the increase in funding that went to the healthcare sector in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The amount of VC funding that went to the healthcare information technology (HIT) sector globally, for instance, grew by more than 40 percent from 2019 to 2020.
