In digital health, the deals are bigger than ever
More money than ever was invested in digital health in a year that held many surprises. Not only has the size and number of deals hit a peak, but so has the number of repeat digital health investors. However, exits waned with only 119 acquisitions and a frozen IPO market. 2017 was the end of the beginning in digital health, and 2018 starts a new era with new challenges. Read our analysis in our year end funding report.
In our pursuit to provide value to this community, we're excited to announce our significantly expanded Digital Health Funding Database to help you track every venture deal and company—the database now includes every company's value proposition, clinical indication, business model, and differentiating technologies.
