>>WASHINGTON—U.S. startups received a record-breaking amount of venture capital (VC) investment last year, surpassing the high-water mark set at the height of the dot-com boom in 2000.

Venture capitalists invested $130.9 billion across nearly 9,000 American companies last year, according to a report by PitchBook and National Venture Capital Association (NVCA).

The rise in VC investment was primarily fueled by an unprecedented level of mega-deals (valued at more than $100 million). These deals surged nearly 150 percent in value and 90 percent in number.

Capital invested into life sciences companies reached a decade high, and unicorns (startups valued at more than $1 billion) received the lion’s share, accounting for 34 percent of total VC investment.

The PitchBook-NVCA called 2018 a “truly exceptional year for the venture industry.”

“Looking ahead to 2019, it appears likely that the arms race of mega-deals into startups backed by a growing number of mega-funds will continue,” the report said.
