In the first three months of 2022, global funding has fallen 19% to $144 billion from last quarter, according to new data from CB Insights—the largest quarter-over-quarter percentage decline in nearly 10 years. It’s not all bad news: Those numbers are still high, and early and mid-stage valuations are up—but there is a drag in both valuations and exits for late-stage deals, an early indication that there is trouble ahead, and it will likely trickle down to the rest of the private markets in the coming months.

Private companies always take time to follow their public peers. While investors can trade in and out of a publicly-traded stock near-instantly, private funding deals take time to value and close. Early-stage companies are the furthest removed from the public markets, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that early-stage deals are the last to be impacted by things like market volatility or rising interest rates. We likely won’t see the full extent of some of these macro-economic indicators for many more months.

Here are four critical pieces of data from quarter one that investors should be watching closely:

Investors are scaling back

Mega-round funding is down 30% from last quarter, and it’s down in every sector except for angel investors, who tend to be most active in the early stages. Asset or investment management companies, corporations and corporate venture funds, private equity, and venture capital investors have all scaled back the size of deals they are signing. Valuations are up for early and mid-stage startups, but the median valuation for late-stage companies has begun to drop.

Deals are getting smaller

There were fewer mega-rounds this year (meaning those above $100 million in size). While around 59% of venture dollars were invested in mega-rounds last quarter, that number is closer to 51% in the first quarter. 

Funding for U.S.-based startups shrinks

There’s still plenty of funding going toward startups in the U.S.—they received 49% of this quarter’s overall global funding—but the dollar-amount is at a five-quarter low after a record 2021.  Funding was down in every major U.S. city apart from Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Dallas—although, there were more deals signed in the first quarter than there were the year prior.

Time to look abroad?

While the number of mega-rounds is on the decline in the U.S. and Asia, there was an uptick this quarter in large rounds in Europe, Canada, and Australia. The U.S. and Asia still comprise the lion’s share of the global venture market.
