Online marketplaces - growth drivers and trends
From the rapid delivery arms race, to the NFT marketplace boom, marketplaces evolved and diversified more than ever in 2021. And emerging startup hubs were leading the charge.
2021 saw investment grow fastest in Europe, while India emerged as a leading hub in Asia. VC investment in China has significantly cooled off.
$139 billion was raised globally by marketplace startups last year a huge record, with 145 new unicorns minted in 2021 alone, bringing the total to 520.
In partnership with Adevinta, we look back on a record-breaking year, and its most important emerging trends.
Brighteye Ventures have released their third annual European Edtech funding report. With the support of Dealroom data, the most comprehensive dataset yet on Edtech startup innovation uncovers the emerging funding landscape, and the future trends set to define the next generation of startups and of learners.
$20B was raised globally by edtech startups in 2021 (up 1.3x since 2020), and startup value is up 15.8x in the last decade. But the data also highlights the ongoing challenges in tech sector diversity, and the uneven distribution of capital to those building our learning systems of the future.
