Research on the Preferences of U.S. Venture Funding Deals in 2023 for the Industry in Which the Company Operates

Abstract

Since the effects of geopolitics and recession, venture capital deals have become more cautious and companies' access to capital has become more difficult. Therefore, this research will analyze 2023 U.S. venture capital deal data to explore venture capitalists' preference for the corporate industry. In previous similar studies, visual graphics were essential, which was also applied in this study. At the same time, OLS regression model was also used for verification in this research. The results show that in 2023, U.S. venture capital deals favor the technology industry, especially the two hot spots of artificial intelligence and biotechnology. There is a positive linear relationship between venture capital investment and corporate hot spots. When the company industry moves closer to the technology industry, the amount of venture capital investment increases significantly. However, the November-December data is still to be added. Forecasting the future preferences of the venture capital trading industry is also an issue that needs to be addressed. Finally, on the basis of previous studies, this paper also provides some meaningful results for venture capital market participants, hoping to help improve the efficiency of venture capital market.
