Waiting for a thaw: Four charts give a peek into the funding winter

The year 2022 has been a damper for start-ups, with the funding funnel narrowing. However, October-November saw a slight uptick in funding flow. The total fund invested was $2.3 billion across 186 deals. The other trend was acquisitions. Many acquired to expand rather than invest to grow organically.  Of course, this period did not see a single unicorn. The Oct-Nov period saw highest funding in the Seed and Series A rounds with 41 and 96 deals, respectively. The following data compiled by Tracxn gives a peek into the funding winter.
