Platform&Tech Investments in Q3’24:
This quarter's notable trend is the significant growth in platform and technology investments, with over $0.5B raised across 19 deals driven by corporate VC and PE activity.
In Q3’24, late-stage VC and PE-backed gaming deals raised only $151m across a few transactions as investors became increasingly cautious. This slowdown could result in down rounds or prompt early exits and M&A activity due to fewer large-scale funding opportunities.
Late-stage Gaming Investment in Q3'24:
Based on our Q3 2024 Global Gaming Deals Report, late-stage investments are still grappling with the prolonged effects of market volatility and reduced liquidity.
However, Series A rounds remain volatile, reflecting increased scrutiny and risk aversion. The total number of early-stage deals remains consistent with previous years, although the size of these rounds varies more than before.
