Healthcare startups raised $2.61 billion in venture capital fundraising last month, according to analysis of deals conducted by VC database Pitchbook for Forbes.
That’s up 37% from the $1.9 billion raised during the same month last year, and it’s the highest amount raised in January on record since Pitchbook began tracking funding in 2008. (The next highest was in January 2015 when startups raised $2.16 billion.)
