Stories of Technology, Innovation, & Entrepreneurship in the Southeast

PitchBook writes that its outlook for venture in 2025 is positive, albeit tempered. Among the predictions are these:

1. Capital availability will likely remain lower for the later stages, a mechanic of the overinvestment a few years ago, and valuation growth should start to increase mildly.
2. The need for liquidity should finally push some companies to the table for acquisitions, and we can’t forget there are 750 unicorns, not all of which will be able to raise more capital to provide liquidity for early investors and employees the way that Databricks and SpaceX could.
3. Distributions should also start to come back with the larger exits occurring, and that should also enhance the fundraising market, marginally.
