Venture Capital Fundraising Remains Low in 2024

In 2024, venture capital firms raised $2.8 billion through 38 new funds, which is similar to the previous year but much lower than the peak in 2022.

The cautious approach was due to political uncertainties and economic conditions.

However, sectors like deep tech, space tech, and AI attracted more attention.

With more certainty in the political environment, 2025 is expected to be better for fundraising.

Additionally, over 25 startups are expected to go public this year, which could lead to significant exits for VCs.

Limited partners (LPs) typically expect a minimum return of 25% on their investments.
