Late-Stage Venture Continues To Dominate Medtech Financing

Device start-ups raised $1.7 billion in 2013, and approximately 75% of the total was from Series C or later rounds, a sign that investors are still more comfortable making investments in more advanced companies.

Device start-ups raised $1.7 billion in venture financing in 2013, a 31% drop from 2012’s $2.5 billion, despite only 11 fewer deals being signed in 2013. (See Exhibit 1.) The decrease isn’t surprising as venture investors continue to tighten their purse strings, according to a panel of corporate and institutional backers at the recent IN3Medical Device 360°Summit in San Francisco.
