I flagged some encouraging digital health investment stats recently, but a key leading indicator — how much VCs are raising for their funds — is not looking great, across all domains. Without a trend breaker in IPO and M&A exit opportunities, it will become even harder for healthtech companies to raise money in the future.

I've just shared here some days ago the somewhat encouraging stats around digital health investment. Unfortunately, one of the most relevant leading indicators, the amounts that VCs are able to raise for their funds, is not really looking that great, according to PitchBook, both in terms of number of funds raised and in terms of amounts raised (this is not health-tech focused, but across all domains)
If we don't see a trend breaker particularly around the exit opportunities both in the IPO and M&A space, this will ultimately make it even harder for healthtech companies to raise money in the future.
