According to PitchBook data, US startup funding dropped by almost 30% in 2023, with investors injecting $170.6 billion compared to the $242.2 billion in 2022. This decline is attributed to valuation resets and rising interest rates in the venture capital funding market. However, there was a slight increase in deal activity in the fourth quarter, sparking hopes for market stabilization. AI startups attracted significant investment, with OpenAI and Anthropic accounting for 10% of the total deal value. Valuation resets affected late-stage companies, with a larger number of startups raising funds at lower valuations than in previous rounds.
