The US venture capital market cools down as investors cautiously make their moves

The U.S. venture capital market is cautious in the face of economic uncertainty, with the PitchBook-NVCA report showing a transaction volume of approximately $37.5 billion in the third quarter, a nearly 32% decrease from the previous quarter. Despite the rise in the U.S. stock market, venture capital still faces challenges, with investors imposing stricter terms on startups, leading many companies to postpone financing. Artificial intelligence companies receive the most attention, and it is expected that a Fed rate cut will stimulate trading activity, while a revival in the IPO market may provide more exit opportunities for investors. Leading startups choose to remain private, and the increasing attractiveness of the private market may result in more companies delaying their IPOs
