Bessemer report details state of health tech in 2023, from funding cycles to how public markets have fared – Endpoints News

Besse­mer Ven­ture Part­ners, a ven­ture firm that backs health­care star­tups, es­pe­cial­ly ear­ly-stage star­tups, just re­leased its first an­nu­al re­port look­ing at the state of health tech.

The re­port looked at the bud­ding in­dus­try’s per­for­mance to get a sense of what to make of the mas­sive drop in fund­ing for star­tups cou­pled with un­der­per­form­ing pub­lic mar­kets.

When mar­kets crash, it’s un­der­stand­able for new­er in­dus­tries like health tech to be hit hard.
