The 2024 Venture Capital Landscape: Trends, Challenges, and Insights
According to the initial findings from the Q4 2024 Pitchbook-NVCA Venture Monitor report, global venture capital investments reached an impressive $368.5 billion in 2024. This marks a notable growth of 5.4% compared to $349.4 billion in the previous year.
Decreasing Deal Frequency Amidst Increased Investment Value
Despite the rise in investment value, the total number of deals worldwide saw a significant decline of 17%, plummeting from 43,320 deals in 2023 to just 35,686 in 2024. Interestingly, investments related to artificial intelligence (AI) constituted an increasing proportion of overall deal activity.
This downward trend is starkly highlighted when contrasted with data from peak years; global deal counts were down by a staggering 50.9% from $751.5 billion in the record-setting year of 2021.
Artificial Intelligence: A Dominantforce
The AI sector continues to play a pivotal role within venture capital markets. In terms of sheer numbers, there were approximately 8,343 AI-related deals recorded globally throughout 2024, which is a decrease of 3.6% compared to 8,661 deals noted in 2023, and down by 16.6% from the peak total of 10,007 recorded back in 2021.
The valuation for global AI transactions soared to around $131.5 billion this past year— an impressive increase of 52% over last year’s figure of $86.3 billion yet exhibiting a slight retreat (down by 6%) from values seen during celebrity tech booms like those prior ($140.2 billion) during market highs such as in 2021.
An Expanding Share Within Global Deals

Concurrently these sectors accounted for approximately ***23.[[[[X].$ percent within total realized transactions — both statistics mark clear upward trends relative (to control values) measured previously on similar lines (18.[Y]%~and[Z]%~) emphasized back & forth !@&backward discrepancies amongst initial studies carried out ahead! }.
