"The data points to a Series B crunch, rather than a Series A crunch," explains David Feinleib, Managing Director of the Big Data Group. "Venture Capital is a hot topic. Yet, Venture Capital data is hard to come by and is difficult to analyze,"
The study analyzes ten years of startup data on 100,000 companies from a variety of sources, including Crunchbase, Wikibon and NASDAQ, and is available at http://www.bigdatalandscape.com/news/100k-company-venture-capital-study.
Investors and entrepreneurs can access the new "CrunchAnalytics" interactive dashboard at: http://www.crunchbase.sisense.com.
"CrunchAnalytics is a showcase of what companies can do with complex and ever growing datasets," says SiSense CEO Amit Bendov. "Most companies have to resort to large teams and allocate large budget to their data projects. SiSense Prism can be pointed at any datasets and deliver value in no time."
Key findings include:
- Less is More: Fewer startups received funding in 2012 but the ones who did, raised 22% more capital on average.
- "Series A crunch" doubtful: There were more Series A deals done in 2012 and they closed on average 2 months faster in 2012 than in 2011.
- "Series B crunch" possible: There were fewer Series B deals done in 2012 and they took on average 45 days more to close in 2012 than in 2011.
- Enterprise deals are back: Enterprise deals increased in 2012 and gathered on average 40% more capital in 2012 than in 2011.
- Web deals are cooling off: Web deal volume dropped in 2012 and the average amount raised per company shrunk by close to 45% in 2012.
