Impact is not immune to the global pullback in venture capital

After a record year for impact startups in 2021, investment into the impact ecosystem is down 25% in 2022, with $57B raised globally.

Yet, Impact funding is holding on better than the broader venture capital ecosystem, where funding is down 36% in 2022 compared to a global peak in 2021.

Impact appetite and performance vary significantly by geography.

The USA still attracts more than half of impact investment. Yet Europe punches well above its weight based on size of ecosystem, and is catching up with the US.

In 2022, impact investment in the US fell 36%, while Europeʼs final account for 2022 came in at +1%.

Climate Tech dominates the Impact ecosystem

Climate tech startups raised $44B in 2022, almost 80% of all impact funding.

Overall climate tech funding fell 20% year on year, yet several promising segments registered growth. Circular economy, biodiversity and wind energy are all building momentum into 2023.
