Trends in venture capital

PitchBook’s Venture Monitor, now sponsored by J.P. Morgan, breaks down the latest trends in the venture ecosystem.

Each quarter, Ginger Chambless, Head of Research for Commercial Banking, provides J. P. Morgan’s insights into the trends shaping the startup landscape, from early-stage valuations and deal pacing to the exit environment.

Read J.P. Morgan’s perspective in PitchBook’s Venture Monitor, the definitive quarterly publication on venture capital trends in the U.S.

Some highlights from the Q2 2022 report:

• Venture capital activity continues to slow, and valuations are starting to come down—which could mean a necessary and healthy reset for the ecosystem.
• Dry powder reserves are significant but might not stretch as far as expected, given the challenging fundraising environment.
• Liquidity management can be paramount for survival; startups may want to prioritize runway extension over valuation.
• Quiet IPO markets leave fewer options for exit; M&A activity is likely to pick up in the coming months.
