Signs abound that the valuations for venture capital-backed tech companies are dropping, from sagging private stock prices on secondary exchanges to plunging share prices of comparable companies on Wall Street.
Founders of early-stage companies who are able to raise funding are doing so at generally higher valuations, the report said. Those that are raising money in later stages see more investor resistance, resulting in lower valuations than they got in their last funding rounds. "To get back to where we were in 2019, Series A valuations would need to fall 49%, Series B by 55% and Series C by 72%," Hebela said."We don't think this is likely."
"2021 just seems like an outlier year by almost any measure," said Brian Lee, senior vice president of CB Insights' intelligence unit."We’re not done with falling valuations, but you have to remember that they almost doubled between 2020 and 2021 and they bounced even higher in the first quarter of 2022."
That's roughly in in line with where Stripe reportedly set its own valuation level internally in July. That is still almost double where the company was valued in a December 2020 round.CB Insights analyst Lee doesn't think the valuation drops on companies like Stripe are likely to be validated in new funding rounds or by the businesses going public anytime soon, either.
