Funds targeting $100mn or less see six consecutive years of increased fundraising, and account for 69% of all venture capital vehicles on the road
Since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) when an all-time high $9.3bn was raised in 2008, micro venture capital fundraising has seen six consecutive years of growth, increasing from $6.5bnn in 2009 to reach $8.5bn in 2015. Furthermore, over the past decade micro venture capital funds have consistently represented the majority of VC funds reaching a final close; micro-sized funds accounted for 61% of all venture capital funds to close in 2015 and more than two-thirds (67%) the previous year. So far in 2016, 169 micro venture capital funds have reached a final close raising a combined $2.4bn.
