Carta reports that 20% of the rounds in 2023 were downrounds, but I believe the actual number is much higher. For that and other reasons (like cash preservation) VCs moved to focus more on earlier stage, and many funds that typically invest in A started deploying more into seed rounds.
From a technology point of view, new tech tools like generativeAI means that tasks can be accomplished with fewer resources and at a higher speed. Seed and pre-Seed investment levels and valuations remain healthy, there’s more talent in the market and less competition.
And not a particular sector, but AI startups, in particular generativeAI attracted close to $50 billion in funding last year, globally. Most of that funding went to foundational models like OpenAI, Anthropic and Inflection AI which collectively raised $18 billion in 2023. GenerativeAI is game changer.
