Global tech funding is slowly recovering with larger startup valuations and more early-stage activity than investors anticipated when the pandemic began
Venture capital investors are more positive about the tech investment outlook than they were in April.
66% of investors think that COVID-19 has impacted their funding decisions in the third quarter, versus 83% in April, according to new data from a survey of 160 global investors by early-stage VC fund 500 Startups. She adds: "A lot of investors are trying to wrap their head around how they write checks and do diligence in a completely virtual environment."
"It definitely aligns with what the shifts have been either in terms of industries or consumer behaviour and what's going on globally," says Tsai. "The fact that investor interest is increased in these sectors, I think that's going to continue."
