Trends in Venture Capital Funding

Learning Venture Capital Concept Series (Part 1) ??

Super helpful to all the current & future Entrepreneurs + Finance/ Startup Enthusiasts !! ??

What are the recent trends happening in Venture Capital Funding in India from 2021 onwards ??

Consumer technology, FinTech, and Software as a Service (SaaS) continued to account for 75%+ of all VC investments by value (like 2020). ??

These sectors continued to see a significant expansion in deal size, indicative of a maturing landscape.

SaaS specifically saw deal size expansion as big Indian unicorns became category-defining leaders globally.

Such as Postman in API management or BrowserStack in automated testing.

?? A few emerging sectors stood out:

1. Within consumer tech, several alternative formats of commerce saw significant funding -

Such as video commerce, direct-to-consumer (D2C) brand aggregator models, and short-form videos.

2. Online business-to-business (B2B) marketplaces saw traction as four new unicorns were created -

large opportunity size is driven by the pandemic-led inflection in digital adoption within B2B supply chains.

3. SaaS funding continued to see momentum as several category leaders emerged, addressing unique use cases.

4. Within fintech’s record funding in 2021, consumer and SMB-focused neobanks held a significant share.

5. Web 3.0 and crypto-based start-ups saw explosive growth raising up to $500M+ in 2021.
