State of Venture Q3 2022 Report

.

The global venture ecosystem continues its slowdown in Q3’22 as funding decreases 34% quarter-over-quarter.

.

Global venture funding reached $74.5B in Q3’22, hitting a 9-quarter low. The new funding level represented a 34% drop quarter-over-quarter — the largest quarterly percentage drop in a decade — and a 58% decline from the investment highs reached in Q4’21.

​Deal activity hit 7,936 deals total, marking a 9.5% quarterly drop and a 7-quarter low.  

.

US-based companies raised $36.7B, accounting for just under half of global Q3’22 funding. Some of the quarter’s largest rounds in the region went to companies including TeraWatt Infrastructure, TerraPower, and EnergyX.

Other Q3’22 highlights across the venture ecosystem include:

  • Q3’22 saw only 25 new unicorns (private companies valued at $1B+) — the lowest unicorn birth count since Q1’20. The US accounted for the majority (14) of these births. Leading entrants include Zhiji Auto ($4.4B valuation), Tridge ($2.7B), and 21.co ($2B).

  • 100M+ mega-rounds collectively accounted for $29.6B in Q3’22, marking a 9-quarter low and a 44% drop QoQ. Mega-round deal count dropped in all major regions to hit 144 in Q3’22, also a 9-quarter low.

  • The fintech sector also continued to contract. With $12.9B raised across 1,160 deals, Q3’22 was the weakest quarter the sector has seen since Q4’20.

  • Global digital health deals fell to their lowest levels in 5 years, with $5B raised across just 419 deals. The US led, accounting for more than half (58%) of total digital health funding at $2.9B.

WEF Launches Crypto Sustainability Coalition to Leverage Web3 Technologies in Climate Change Battle

.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has launched the Crypto Sustainability Coalition, an initiative dedicated to assessing the role of Web3 technologies in the fight against climate change. The organization, which is composed of 30 companies, educative groups, and other institutions, will research the impact of the energy consumption of these technologies, and how they can be used to aid the current decarbonization efforts.

.

WEF to Use Web3 to Fight Climate Change

Web3, a term that groups cryptocurrency and blockchain-based technologies, is currently in the spotlight of energy groups that seek to determine if the use of these technologies is pernicious for the environment. The World Economic Forum (WEF) has decided to take these technologies into account, launching an initiative to investigate if they can be useful to the current fight against climate change.

The initiative, which was announced on September 21, is called the Crypto Sustainability Coalition, and it is composed of 30 different companies, educative organizations, and other institutions interested in this issue. Among these are known cryptocurrency-linked projects, like Solana, Avalanche, Circle, NEAR Foundation, Ripple, and the Stellar Development Foundation, among others.

This coalition, as part of the Crypto Impact and Sustainability Accelerator, another bigger initiative launched this same year, will inquire about the different ways in which these companies can organize to help in this endeavor. Brynly Llyr, head of blockchain and digital assets of the World Economic Forum stated:

An important and unique aspect of Web3 is that it uses technology to support and reward direct community engagement and action. This means we can coordinate the work of many individuals directly with one another, enabling collective action without centralized control.

.

Different Study Areas and Criticism

This new initiative has already created different workgroups to investigate three key subjects related to crypto, blockchain, and their usage. One of these points has to do with the energy usage of these technologies, and how these can impact the climate and nature in the future.

Another of the key points has to do with how these Web3 technologies can change and be leveraged in order to decarbonize current activities. These applications might include mining and other decentralized activities.

The third subject has to do with standardizing and putting carbon credits in the blockchain, making the issuance and management of these instruments more transparent and trustable, and opening the doors for more people to participate in these markets.
