Midyear Digital Health Funding Breaks Records

DIGITAL HEALTH FUNDING
2014 JUN 30
Midyear Funding Report
2. N THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2014 WE FELT CONFIDENT STATING THAT
it would be another record year for digital health funding.
We were surprised however to see last year’s record funding total
surpassed just three months later, reaching $2.3B.
In our 2013 midyear report, we noted that digital health funding
growth had slowed, and external observers questioned whether
momentum in digital health would continue. There is no such
question this year, with year-over-year growth exceeding 170%.
These investments are coming from diverse healthcare,
technology, and corporate venture firms, suggesting a wide-open
space with multiple vectors of opportunity.
Everyone who follows funding is naturally waiting for the liquidity
events. We expect more multi-billion dollar exits over the coming
years—in the meanwhile, we’ve created the first Digital Health
Public Company Index to track the progress of our sector in the
equity markets. Bring on the rest of 2014!
