Chart visual description: Left Y-axis shows “U.S. Venture Capital Exit Activity Count” and ranges from 0 to 2,000. X-axis shows years from 2007 through 1H22. Right Y-axis shows “U.S. VC Exit Activity ($B)” and ranges from $0 to $800B. Each column is comprised of three parts: in light blue, Acquisitions, in light green, Public Listings, and in light teal Buyouts. A dark tan line overlaps all representing the Total Venture Capital Exit Value. Chart data description: As of June 30th, VC exit counts are not yet at half of 2021’s level (1806 exits), but fairly in line with levels from 2014-2020. Total Value, however, is much lower; and 2022 is on track to come in at less than 15% of 2021’s level ($48B vs. $777B in 2021). 2021 was a huge peak for both sets of data. Chart sources: Pitchbook, Wall Street Journal as of June 30, 2022. End chart description.
