In 2021, North American and European firms raised an impressive $29.2 billion across 128 life sciences-focused venture funds, according to PitchBook Data. However, life sciences venture fundraising has experienced a decline since then. In 2022, venture firms secured $16.3 billion across 79 funds, and in 2023, the total was $15.8 billion from 46 funds, per PitchBook's data. This trend has continued into 2024, with only $3.4 billion raised for 11 life sciences venture funds as of May 21, according to PitchBook. Many firms are still looking for the big investment success that propels their next fundraising, said Kazi Y. Helal, PhD, a senior analyst with PitchBook. Read more in The Wall Street Journal 👇

"Every time a growing company has to uproot technology or reinvest in it, it's very disruptive to the organization itself. You must have a longer view on creating the platform on which your digital experience is going to sit because as the world is changing, you must be able to keep up with it. You can't take six months every time you want to add another feature." Ahsan Jamil sAi Venture Capital - #technology #digital #mindset #companies #pivoting #futureproofing #pakistan #VCastOnline

Imagine the impact this would have not only on 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, but also on 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬, as well as 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 to treatment and testing regimens! All of this is already possible with Captainer's innovative solutions.   I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to all the team at Capitainer and I am looking forward to seeing what comes next!

Fantastic venture capital session at AltsLA 2024! Samir Kaji was joined by Carter Reum of M13, Sylvia S. Kwan, CFA, CAIA of Ellevest, and Alex Pall of Mantis Venture Capital. For the only venture capital-focused session of the event, they shared valuable insights: - Venture is where innovation happens and where GPs invest in technology to solve systemic problems, such as climate and healthcare. - AI will drive the 'personalization' of everything, from education to financial services and more. - We're just getting started with AI. The first ripples are groundbreaking, and the second and third waves of innovation will make exponential shifts to the landscape. It's exciting and uncertain what the future holds. The Allocate team had a great time in LA for the event connecting with private market investors and thought leaders. We look forward to the next one!
