VC investment globally remained strong in Q4’21 — bringing to a close an incredible year. The ready availability of cash, the significant returns seen on exits throughout the year, and the increasing participation of corporates, family offices, and a range of other non-traditional investors has only added to the overall attractiveness of the market. With the rise of the Omicron variant and the return of work-from-home mandates in some jurisdictions or the delay of return-to-office plans in others, the continued pressure to enhance digital offerings and hybrid work environments is expected to remain firmly on the radar of investors across industries. The combination of a strong investment environment and the continued drive for digitalization will likely help keep VC investment high heading into Q1’22.
