First Quarter 2022 Financing Update

5/23/2022

 
Download Our First Quarter 2022 Financing Update Here

Q1 capital market activity declined from the record-breaking levels of 2021 but was still historically high. In fact, PitchBook estimates that the first quarter may set a record in venture capital deal volume when factoring in deals that have not yet been reported.

Growth equity investments were strong, early-stage investments generally had a dip, and IPO markets decreased more significantly.

It has been well-known for a while that inflation was like to become a concern after the significant stimulus injected into the markets. However, the exacerbation of price increases by a variety of factors, including the Russia-Ukraine crisis, contributed to the potential market slowdown and volatility.
It should be emphasized that investors are still flush with cash. Even if the final figures for Q1 do not exceed 2021 levels, the quarter’s deal volume was higher than the individual quarters of 2020 and prior years.

With the Federal Reserve on track to raise its key interest rate a further six times in 2022, we will closely monitor how borrowing costs impact financing activity – particularly valuations. We also anticipate that we may see a shifting of investment activity between sectors as some become more out-of-favor while others become increasingly attractive.

As always, contact us if you would like to receive information about activity in your specific industry or geography, or if you would like to discuss options for your business.
