The most active VC investors in the industry have not slowed down regardless of the market, according to a recent report. The investment numbers from certain VC firms in 2022 match their 2021 numbers.

According to the Crunchbase report, the cohort of 40 VC firms matched their investment number from 2021, even though they had increased investments by 50% during that year.
Investments in new startups in 2022 stand at 55%, an increase compared to the 50% VCs invested in 2021.
The only statistics that are in line with the current market downturn are the overall amount of dollars invested and Series C investments. Series A investments, however, have increased.
The report claims that, unlike the 2008 financial crisis, VC investments are not slowing down, and therefore the industry is not mirroring the investment pace post-2008.
