Significant cooldown of venture capital financing for European life sciences markets

Sentiment_cooldown

Venture capital deal volumes in the European life sciences sector reached a record-breaking level in 2021. However, financing volumes decreased significantly by 29% in the first four months of 2022 compared to 2021.

 

Our deal data and sentiment calculations suggest that the cooldown of the life sciences capital markets has now reached European venture markets. Based on these observations, we expect more challenging fundraising campaigns for European healthcare companies over the next couple of months.
