You might have heard of the slowdown in deal activity by VC firms in North America in the first quarter of 2016. The decline follows a similar trend registered at the end of last year.
According to a recent report by KPMG and CB Insights, in Q1 2016, venture capital funds invested just $14.8 billion in the US, slightly better than in the last quarter of 2015 ( $14 billion) but significantly distant from the peaks reached in 2015 ($20.4 billion in Q3).
