May demonstrated that startup funding continues to hold steady thus far in 2021. Overall, there were more than 2.4k funding rounds captured by TechTrack.
Here's a breakdown of all things big and small in the world of startups & VC:
- There were 2,434 deals last month compared to 2,376 in April an increase ⬆ of 2.4%
- Early stage funding remained stable with 1,121 deals announced in May compared to 1,140 in April, a slight decrease ⬇ of 1.7%
- Expansion stage funding was up slightly in May with 730 deals announced compared to 712 in April, a slight increase ⬆ of 2.5%
- Overall, deals in May were down ⬇ nearly 22.4% compared to the same period last year. This suggests that we may still be somewhat further away from reaching a pre-pandemic level of deal activity than recent data had indicated.
