Silicon Valley Venture Capital Survey First Quarter 2023 Silicon Valley Venture Capital Survey 2 Background Our survey analyzed the terms of 177 venture financings closed in the first quarter of 2023 by companies headquartered in Silicon Valley. Summary While Fenwick doesn’t track fundraising volume, the drop in investments continues to be the headline for venture capital fundraising trends: according to Crunchbase, North American funding in the first quarter was $46.3 billion—a decline of 46% from the same period last year, though only a 13% decline from Q4 2022. In our survey, the Q1 2023 data shows a leveling off in the total number of financings from the prior quarter—a 5% uptick, from 169 to 177. The biggest jump quarter to quarter was in Series B financings, from 36 in Q4 2022 to 56 in Q1 2023—a 56% increase. Given quarter over quarter the number of deals was flat and the fundraising volume was down, it is no surprise that average deal value across all series again dropped in Q1 (source: Pitchbook). The Fenwick Venture Capital Barometer™, measuring the average percentage share price change between rounds, was 84% in Q1 2023, continuing its return to the long-term average of 74%. The most precipitous drops were in Series C and Series E financings, with the average price change for Series C financings falling from 87% in Q4 2022 to 28% in Q1 2023, and Series E financings falling from 12% average price change to a 2% average price change quarter over quarter. Silicon Valley Venture Capital Survey – First Quarter 2023 Key Findings Series A and B Rounds Dominated Financings Series A (91 total) and B (56 total) accounted for 83% of all financings in Q1, with Series A comprising 51% of the total. Up Rounds Showed Resilience Despite the continuation of a challenging fundraising environment, marked by macroeconomic uncertainty and recent bank failures, more than 91% of companies receiving venture financing in Q1 did so in an up round (73%) or even round (18%). The majority of down rounds were among later-stage deals, with Series D and E+ financings comprising 46% of such rounds. Raising Funds, but at a Steeper Price Software (36), life sciences (20) and hardware (15) comprised the majority of post Series A financings by industry in Q1, though hardware and life sciences companies faced greater pricing pressure than the prior quarter as measured by a meaningful drop in average percentage change in price per share.

Its goal is to provide information to the global entrepreneurial and venture community on the terms of venture financings in Silicon Valley. The survey is available to all, without charge, by signing up at www.fenwick.com/ subscribe. We are pleased to be a source of information for entrepreneurs, investors, educators, students, journalists and government officials. Our analysis of Silicon Valley financings is based on independent data collection performed by our lawyers and paralegals, and is not skewed toward or overly representative of financings in which our firm is involved. We believe that this approach, compared to only reporting on deals handled by a specific firm, provides a more statistically valid dataset. For purposes of determining whether a company is based in “Silicon Valley,” we use the area code of the corporate headquarters. The area codes included are 650, 408, 415, 510, 925, 916, 707, 831 and 209. Methodology When interpreting the Barometer results, please bear in mind that the results reflect the average price increase of companies raising money in a given quarter compared to their prior round of financing. By definition, the Barometer does not include companies that do not do follow-on financings (which may be because they went out of business, were acquired or went public). Accordingly, we believe that our results are most valuable for identifying trends in the venture environment, as opposed to calculating absolute venture returns. Please also note that our calculations are not “dollar weighted,” i.e., all venture rounds are treated equally, regardless of size.
