KPMG's Venture Pulse Q3 2024 highlights a notable shift in the venture capital landscape. After a peak in 2021, fueled by post-pandemic optimism and massive capital influxes, we've seen a steady decline in both deal count and funding levels. By Q3 2024, funding has dropped to $70.1 billion, signaling a more cautious approach in the market. While early and later-stage VC funding has remained relatively steady, overall venture growth and deal flow are slowing down. This trend reflects heightened selectivity among investors, as macroeconomic uncertainties and restrained risk appetite shape a more conservative approach to funding. As we move forward, understanding these shifts will be crucial for navigating an evolving venture capital environment. 🌐 Source: https://lnkd.in/eCRNqHwz #venturecapital #investmenttrends #funding

What’s new in the #AgTech sector? CropLife reports that 161 AgTech startups raised $1.5B in funding, representing 2.26% of the $66.5B invested globally. While AgTech funding dipped slightly (down 3%), it fared better than the overall venture market, which saw a 16% drop. The sector also saw a 14% rise in exits, with all eight through M&A deals. One standout was Dechra Pharmaceuticals’ acquisition of Invetx for up to $520M—highlighting excitement around animal health innovations. As AgTech evolves, it remains a promising area for both investment and exits. Source: https://lnkd.in/gZ_Q7D2A #agtech #venturecapital #startups #innovation
The #agtech sector, which combines agriculture and technology, is evolving quickly. The Q1 2024 Agtech Report by PitchBook, as cited by Hybris Corporate Finance, outlines significant trends and challenges in this space. Agtech innovations, ranging from biotechnology and agricultural finance to indoor farming, animal husbandry, and precision agriculture, aim to enhance productivity and sustainability. ▸Agtech Today CropLife reports that lQ1 2024 funding marked the fifth consecutive quarter below $1.5 billion, a drop from 2022's quarterly investments which exceeded $2.4 billion. Investment levels have now stabilized between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion since the peak years of 2021-2022. However, exits have significantly slowed, with Q1 2024 recording the fewest AgTech exits since 2020 and no major agriculture company acquisitions. In Q12024, venture capital fundraising in Agtech reached $1.2 billion across 161 deals as per Pitchbook data, a decline from the previous quarter. Nevertheless, growth continues in areas such as biomaterials and plant biotechnology. Key deals include Oishii's $144 million Series B, Inari's $103 million Series F, and Captain Fresh's $72.8 million Series C. ▸Challenges The sector faces challenges like limited internet access in rural areas, varied regulations, and inadequate infrastructure. Companies such as Tridge, a global trading platform, are leveraging blockchain and forming strategic partnerships to overcome these obstacles. Despite the challenging investment environment, Agtech offers significant growth opportunities for well-informed investors and stakeholders. ▸Outlook A report by Deloitte forecasts that by the end of 2024, the number of Internet of Things (IoT) endpoints for precision agriculture, livestock management, and equipment tracking will approach 300 million, marking a 50% growth from 2022. The AgTech sector, which includes these IoT devices and connectivity solutions, is projected to reach $18 billion in global revenue in 2024, representing a 19% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024. AgTech innovations, driven by climate change, geopolitical instability, and rising costs, have the potential to boost crop yields, enhance equipment and livestock management, and support sustainable farming practices, potentially reducing emissions and saving costs for farmers. Technological advancements like hydroponics, AI-driven cultivation methods, drones, and agribots are transforming agriculture by improving efficiency and productivity. These advancements in field preparation, crop management, harvesting, and livestock care address labor shortages and food security concerns, meeting the growing global demand for food and managing resource constraints. #privatemarket #secondaries #venturecapital #privatecredit #privateequity

Innovation isn’t about being fearless—it’s about courage. Leaders who push the boundaries don’t ignore fear; they channel it into calculated risks and smarter decisions. The best innovators aren’t those without fear, but those who know where to place it. How are you channeling yours? #leadership #innovation #MondayMotivation #entrepreneurship

AXIS Group Ventures reposted this
Investment Banker I USAF Veteran I Debt Capital placement I Private Market Secondaries I tbarnes@axisgroupventures.com
Recently, I was reflecting back on an experience in college. My senior year I had a swimming / scuba class at the United States Air Force Academy, and I recall having to tread water in the deep end of the pool for 20 minutes as part of the minimum passing requirements. Treading water for 20 minutes is not the hardest thing in the world. It’s not fun either. You are a short swim from the sides of the pool, and you can quite at any time. You feel like it a few times, but you're in the water with your peers and you persist and finish. There are moments in business where you feel like you are treading water. Regardless of the outcome, getting to shore and fighting another day is worth it. A quote from the actor John Goodman…. “I ain't never been in no college with famous people. I was a drifter for a while. I just was desperate to fit in with a group. Really, I was swimming. I was lost, treading water, trying to find my way. I wanted to play football. It didn't work out. I didn't really know what I wanted until I found acting in a theater department, and then everything just fell into place, and I had a passion about something. Then, I started living my life.” And an article on Private Market Secondaries - a belated mid-year short review. Check it out and share any thoughts.

In today’s fast-paced world, scaling is often seen as the ultimate goal. But growth doesn’t always mean adding more people or resources. Sometimes, staying small allows for more agility, better communication, and stronger collaboration. The magic of a small, dedicated team lies in its ability to move quickly, innovate freely, and foster a deep sense of accountability.
