Curious Trends Among Top Investors in Series A and B Financing for 2024

On August 16, 2024, Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, and Khosla Ventures emerged as the leading U.S. investors in Series A and B rounds globally during the first half of 2024. This period indicates a resurgence in early-stage investments, with these three firms among thirteen active investors making seven or more investments. Most active investors increased their investment pace compared to the previous year, suggesting a recovery in venture markets. Khosla Ventures notably expanded its activity in sectors such as geologic hydrogen service, autonomous driving, and radiology report automation. Andreessen Horowitz remained important in multistage ventures, despite leading fewer rounds compared to the prior year. Top investments included $1.9 billion from Arch Venture Partners, which included $1 billion for AI drug discovery, and significant rounds in AI voice software and generative AI startups by Andreessen. Funding activity focused primarily on healthcare/biotech and AI, which accounted for 40% and 25% of investments, respectively. This contrasts with 2022, when Tiger Global led significantly more rounds but participated minimally in the first half of 2024. The increase in Series A and B funding, along with heightened investments from leading firms, suggests a more optimistic outlook for the venture market. Data for this report reflects findings up to August 14, 2024, noting the possibility of data lags, especially in early-stage investments.
