60 Percent of Top Ten Venture Capital IPOs Are Health Deals
PitchBook has compiled a list of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) from the top 25 venture capital partnerships over the last ten years. The results for health care are impressive, accounting for 46 percent of the IPOs. Sixty percent of the IPOs for the top ten VCs were healthcare businesses.
(PitchBook also compiled the last decade’s venture-backed M&A deals, but did not break those down by industry sector. Hoewver, it is clear form eyeballing the league table that a large share of M&A deals are from VC’s with health care as a significant share of their portfolios, such as Intel Ventures and New Enterprise Associates.)
