Data provided by PitchBook, 1/20/21.Later-stage companies are safer bets during uncertain times, as a general rule of thumb. Judging by how much capital has kept flowing into later-stage rounds, whereas angel & seed financings have contracted significantly in volume, it is clear that investors have dialed back activity in pricey early-stage activity and rather are being judicious as to overall risk.PI in100HCommercial Services90%80%70%60H50%40%3瞅edia2«Other10%Pharma & Biotech0%SoftwareA2013-2020*, VC invested ($B)100clCommercial Services90,80cl70cl60cl509401ediaOtherPharma & BiotechSoftwareAco§9Consumer Goods & Recreation EnergyConsumer Goods & Recreation EnergyHC Devices & Supplies HC Services & Systems IT Hardware2013-2020*, number of closed dealsSource: Venture Pulse, Q4'20, Global Analysis of Venture Funding, KPMG Private Enterprise. *As of 12/31/20.

Their primaryDtives remain intact financial gain, strategic positioning, partnerships and even potential positioning foracquisition, although that last is not yet conclusively demonstrated via PitchBook data to be a significant driver of M&A. All in all, corporate involvement in direct venture investment appears to be holding steady and unlikely to change heading into 2021.(bal first-time venture financings of companies2013-2020*10,0348,7888,1497,2276,5802013201420172020*Source: Venture Pulse, 04*20, Global Analysis of Venture Funding, KPMG Private Enterprise.

Although 2015 to 2017 exhibited somewhat similar trends, what is likeliest is that between 2015 and the present, there was sufficient cyclical and secular advances in major sectors that a new wave of first-time startups have yet to come, e.g. in mobility or ridesharing.)bal unicorn rounds2013-Q420$45120$40100$35$3080$2560$20$15$1020$5$00Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3Q4Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q420132014201520162017201820192020Deal value ($B)Deal countSource: Venture Pulse, Q4'20, Global Analysis of Venture Funding, KPMG Private Enterprise. Data provided by PitchBook, 1/20/2021.40Note: PitchBook defines a unicorn venture financing as a VC round that generates a post-money valuation of S1 billion or more.These are not necessarily first-time unicorn financing rounds, but also include further rounds raised by existing unicorns that maintainat Ie,that valuation of $1 billion or more.Regardless of its past variability, one trend over the past two years is clear: Unicorns are still able to raise plenty of funding even as the letter of their latest series moves into the middle of the alphabet. For the first time, unicorns both existing and freshly minted closed 100 or more rounds in back-to-back quarters, closing on billions of dollars. This represents the confluence of two trends: first, a concentration of capital in perceived safer and more lucrative outcomes by investors, and second, the ongoing maturation of the stay-private trend by companies given thesbeer accessibility of private capital, unprecedented in history.BlQ1 Q2Q3Q4Q1 Q2Q3Q4Q1 Q2Q3Q4Q1 Q2Q3Q4Q1 Q2Q3Q4Q1 Q2Q3Q4Q1 Q2Q3Q4Q1 Q2Q3Q4201320142015201620172020Exit value ($B)20182019Exit countSource: Venture Pulse, 04*20, Global Analysis of Venture Funding, KPMG Private Enterprise.

Thanks to blockbuster M&A and huge debuts on public exchanges, multiple venture firms and other backers saw mature companies such as Airbnb and DoorDash finally go public to achieve multibillion-dollar valuations. Much like parts of 2018 and the first half of2019, the back half of 2020 saw the culmination of several unicorns, journeys as independent or privately held entities, which spurred this massive surge in liquidity. What remains to be seen is how much more is to come.Gk (#)bal venture-backed exit activity by typeGlobal venture-backed exit activity ($B) by type2013-2020*$5002,5C0$450$4002,0C0$350$3001,5C|$250$2001,0C|$150$1005C0$502013-2020*2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020*2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020*Strategic AcquisitionBuyout ElPOStrategic Acquisition E Buyout IPOSource: Venture Pulse, Q4'20, Global Analysis of Venture Funding, KPMG Private Enterprise. *As of 12/31/20.

However, by a small margin, that exit route came roaring back to the tune of a record year in exit value, at nearly $450 billion. Public markettuthrmoil in the first half of the year was likely the cause of that initial slowdown, yet record market highs achieved in e back half of 2020 encouraged the debuts of several unicorns.)bal venture fundraising2013-2020*$14$12$101$8$6524$4$2$37.61,2001,000972969924800791600582400200$81.2$89.6$96.1$122.4$90.5$112.3$56.520132014201520162017201820192020*Capital raised ($B) gFund countSource: Venture Pulse, Q4'20, Global Analysis of Venture Funding, KPMG Private Enterprise. *As of 12/31/20. Data provided by PitchBook, 1/20/21.The venture asset class remains undeniably popular, although increasingly large sums concentrated in fewer vehicles does raise some interesting implications. At $112.3 billion across close to 600 vehicles closed, what is clear is that flagship venture firms are finding unprecedented success in raising ever-larger funds, and thus will continue to be able to hold commanding positions across later stages of the market. However, plenty of other smaller firms are still closing, thus suggesting general availability of VC across lifecycles will persist.)bal venture fundraising (#) by size2013-2020*Global first-time vs. follow-on venture funds (#)2013-2020*800100%70090%80%60070%50060%40050%40%30030%20020%10010%00%2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020*Under $50M$50M-$1 OOM $100M-$250M$250M-$500Mt $500M-$1 B C$1 B+Follow-on9CO寸9I-I-T-oooCMCJCJzCO6l-T-I-oooCMCMCMFirst-timeSource: Venture Pulse, Q4'20, Global Analysis of Venture Funding, KPMG Private Enterprise. *As of 12/31/20. Data provided by PitchBook, 1/20/21.At nearly 20 percent of 2020 fundraising volume, first-time vehicles set a record proportion unforeseen when the year began. This is promising in several ways, chiefly as brand-new vehicles often target underserved segments of the market, and also because emerging managers, although very risky, can often generate the largest gains for their backers, dollar for dollar. $L7B, NanjingLogistics Early-stage VC$1.6B, BeijingEducational softwareSeries E1$1B, BeijingEducational software Series G $907,1 M, ShenzhenInternet retailSeries A$735,85M, ShanghaiAutomotive Series B $725M, San Diego PharmaceuticalsSeries B $668,3M, Menlo ParkFintechSeries GI/ $660M, GurugramFoodtechLate-stage VCH z一 $533,8M, San FranciscoFintechSeries F1一 $500M, Long BeachAerospace & defense Series DSource: Venture Pulse, 04*20, Global Analysis of Venture Funding, KPMG Private Enterprise.

While the US faced a number of uncertainties during the quarter, including the presidential election in November, a seemingly endless supply of cash on the sidelines and an ample exit market helped to keep confidence in the VC market relatively robust through the end of the year.During Q4'20, VC investment in the US remained focused on key sectors relevantin the current pandemic environment, including fintech, health and biotech, and transportation. These sectors accounted for many of the quarter's largest funding rounds, including Resilience ($725 million), Robinhood ($668 million), Chime ($533 million), Nuro ($500 million), Tempos Labs ($450 million), and Hippo Insurance ($350 million).Fundraising activity in the US reached a near-record high in 2020. In Q4'20, in particular, Andreessen Horowitz announced two mega funds totalling $4.5 billion https:/www.finsmes.eom/2020/11/andreessen-horowitz-closes-two-funds-totalling-4-5-billion.html. Over the course of the year, large US VC funds attracted the lion's share of capital, while some smaller funds had difficulties with capitalization. This trend towards larger funds has been building for a couple of years, although it accelerated in recent quarters as investors increased their focus on metrics like cash-flow, unit economics, and the long-term sustainability of target companies. With a lot of capital sitting on the sidelines, large institutional investors and pension funds moved to put their capital into safe and knowledgeable hands - which predominantly meant larger VC firms with proven fund managers offering a consistent track record for delivering high returns over the lifespan of their funds.The health and biotech sector continued to be a hot priority for US-based VC and corporate investors in Q4'20, with interest stretching well beyond COVID-19 specific activities. Over the last few quarters, the pandemic highlighted significant gaps in the healthcare ecosystem in the US ripe for disruption, which has led to an uptick in investor interest in a wide-range of health and biotech areas, including remote diagnostics, medical imaging solutions, fitness, and wellness. The wellness industry in particular saw significant growth throughout 2020 as consumers became more concerned about their health a
