What's the key learning?

💡 For startups that can demonstrate strong user growth and financials, there is still capital out there. But in 2022, startups in Australia saw a fall in overall investment by around 30%, according to the State of Australian Startup Funding report.

💡Interestingly, there were almost the exact same number of deals in 2022 compared to 2021. But the size of the big deals…or mega rounds… were just a hell of a lot smaller.

💡 But with the top three venture capital firms in Australia raising over $2.4 billion together, there is definitely a lot of capital out there.
