The Q2 2022 edition of KPMG Private Enterprise's Venture Pulse report highlights the major trends, challenges, and opportunities facing the venture capital market globally. With valuations dropping, cash preservation is becoming a priority for companies. The number of VC deals declined in Q2'22, and the market is expected to remain soft in Q3'22. Despite this, there is still dry powder in the market, and vC investors are becoming more conservative, focusing more on profitability when making investment decisions. In Europe, VC investment dropped across most jurisdictions, and M&A activity could see a bump as investors look for deals and companies consolidate in different industries. Fintech, cybersecurity, and supply chain management continued to attract significant investment from technology investors. The report also examines other global and regional trends, including the transition of wealth or your business to the next generation.
