What's in store for emerging tech in 2022?
(imaginima/Getty Images)
2021 was a year to remember for emerging technologies, as VCs set records for capital invested and startups pioneered solutions across a range of industries. The sheer volume of records broken raises the question: What's next?

Our 2022 Emerging Technology Outlook details PitchBook analysts' predictions across 11 sectors within emerging tech, including agtech, AI & machine learning, climate tech and information security. Among the predictions for next year:
  • Personalized medicine will set a record for VC funding, as a confluence of technologies helps advance the sector's capabilities.

  • The IoT/OT security category will see a billion-dollar public listing, as pure-play internet of things and operational technology security companies capitalize on the surge in industrial ransomware attacks.

  • M&A activity will rise in information security, insurtech and agtech, which will see record acquisitions in the precision ag sector.

  • Carbon-negative technologies, especially direct air capture, will garner significant VC investment as the world confronts the climate crisis.

4 key segments continue to dominate healthcare provider buyout activity
(elenabs/Getty Images)
Since 2016, behavioral health, dentistry, dermatology and vision together have accounted for around half of all healthcare provider buyout activity. Positive reimbursement and demand dynamics have made behavioral health the hottest PE provider segment. Meanwhile, dermatology has seen declining deal activity, a result of strategic missteps and a lack of strategy diversification by some large platforms.

These are just a handful of the insights from PitchBook analysts on established PE healthcare provider plays. Our latest analyst note details trends and strategies in behavioral health, dentistry, dermatology and vision.

Who were the winners of the 2021 IPO jackpot?
(arthobbit/Getty Images)
A perfect storm of aging unicorns and a record-setting stock market combined to make 2021 an epic year for venture-backed IPOs.

Our infographic breaks down how public markets delivered a windfall for tech investors.
  • Tiger Global's appetite for pre-IPO companies made it the most frequent backer of this year's most valuable listings.

  • At the time of its IPO, Rivian's four largest investors owned shares worth nearly $40 billion, the value of which have since risen dramatically.

  • SoftBank recorded more than $37 billion in exit value from just three holdings, only to see their value plummet following a reckoning on Chinese stocks.

Chart of the Day
"Nevertheless, the fundraising process remains challenging for emerging managers and particularly first-time funds, which face the chicken-and-egg problem of needing to secure a first close to bring additional LPs on board. For this reason, we are also seeing an expansion of seeding as a nascent strategy within PE."
