A 90-day Retrospective on Venture Capital Funding in 2023

Let's reflect on resilience. As the sun has set on another fiscal quarter, it's time to look back and take stock of the venture capital (VC) landscape over the last 90 days. Amidst an environment of rising and subsequently cooling inflation, which initially led to a stark decline in VC funding, five sectors have audaciously defied the odds. Fundz data shows these industries – Professional Services ($47.06 B), Financial Services ($46.57 B), Consumer Goods ($46.1 B), Artificial Intelligence ($14.16 B), and Energy ($4.51 B) – have showcased significant funding increases when compared to the 90 days prior, serving as bastions of hope in these challenging times.
