The Q2'24 edition of KPMG's Venture Pulse report highlights a rebound in global venture capital (VC) investment, which rose from $75.3 billion in Q1'24 to $94.3 billion. This surge was primarily fueled by a series of substantial deals exceeding $1 billion, particularly in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. Notable investments included $8.6 billion for CoreWeave and $6 billion for xAI. Despite this growth, VC fundraising has remained low, with many funds under pressure to deploy existing capital. The report notes that IPO activity, while limited, showed signs of potential recovery, especially in the US and Europe. Investors are increasingly optimistic about the prospects for IPOs in Q3'24, although significant increases in activity are not expected until 2025. The report also emphasizes the sustained interest in AI, cleantech, and alternative energy investments, while caution persists regarding overall fundraising and exit strategies. The report provides a detailed analysis of regional trends, with the Americas leading in investment, followed by Europe and Asia, where investment levels varied significantly.
