EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Overview
41
In 2021, we saw an overall recovery and uptake in new investments. Organizations reported an increase in investor appetite as 2021 pro- gressed, which was reflected by the increase in investment activity. The 2021 data paints a more positive picture than 2020, showing a sharp increase in investment activity from Q1 to Q2, a slight drop in Q3 and a slight increase in deal activity in Q4. Towards the end of 2021, organizations reported a halt to the resumption of some in-person activities due to a new wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. This may have in- fluenced the slight decrease in activity in the latter part of the year. Angel organizations include angel groups, fam- ily offices, SPVs and funds that invest in ear- ly-stage companies.
