Later stage deal flow showing signs of a slow down
Forbes reports that investors believe that last year’s record setting pace for both number of later stage deals and investment volume activity has slowed considerably over the past few weeks.
“They say that crossover investors who helped drive the breakneck pace in 2021 may have overindulged at the late stages,” according to this article. “The broader venture ecosystem is realizing the swollen price tags they were willing to buy into to get into the hottest deals of 2021 were inflated, these investors say. And while the change so far has had the biggest impact at the late stage, the pullback is rippling down to Series A start-ups as well, they say.”
