Welcome message Welcome to the Q4ˉ17 edition of KPMG Enterpriseˉs Venture Pulse Report aa quarterly report highlighting the key issues, trends, and opportunities facing the VC market globally and in key jurisdictions around the world. A robust Q4ˉ17 propelled total annual global VC funding to $155 billion, the highest tally of the decade. A number of billion-dollar mega-deals over the course of the year, including six $1 billion+ rounds in Q4, drove the significant funding upswing. VC funding was up year-over-year across all regions, including Asia, the Americas and Europe. Meanwhile, the number of deals continued to decline globally during Q4ˉ17, reflecting a shifting investor focus on quality over quantity. Rather than invest in a myriad of different companies, investors at all deal levels have leaned toward placing bigger bets on a smaller group of companies they feel have the strongest path to profitability/potential. While the software sector continued to attract the bulk of VC funding, the biotech and healthechsectors experienced strong growth this year, with pharma & biotech companies alone raising a record high of over $16 billion in VC funding globally. Heading into 2018, the VC market is expected to remain robust, particularly in areas such as AI, biotech, agtechand autotech.

There is also likely to be a modest increase in IPO activity, particularly in biotech.
