9 July 2022. Venture capital funds for North American technology start-ups continued their fall in the second quarter, with later-stage rounds showing the greatest drop. Data compiled by technology research company Crunchbase, and published by Crunchbase News<\/a> on Thursday, show total venture funding declined by 28 percent from the first quarter of 2022, and by 25 percent compared to the second quarter of 2021.<\/p>\n

Venture capital financing for new tech companies in North America totaled $61.7 billion from April through June of 2022, falling from $85.6 billion in the first quarter of the year. In addition, the number of venture deals also declined in the second quarter across all venture rounds. Late-stage venture and growth rounds, series C and later, experienced the largest declines from Q1, falling nearly 35 percent to $35 billion. The number of later-stage venture deals also fell from 490 in the first quarter to 374 in Q2.<\/p>\n

Early-stage venture rounds, series A and B, and seed or angel funds for tech start-ups in North America also declined in Q2, but at a slower rate. Total investments in the first two venture rounds declined by 15 percent in the second quarter to $23.2 billion, while the number of deals declined from 1,193 to 1,023 in Q2. Total seed or angel round funding dropped by 30 percent, from $5 billion in Q1 to $3.5 billion in Q2, with the number of deals falling from 1,932 to 1,331.
