DocSend, a secure document sharing platform and Dropbox (NASDAQ: DBX) company, released a new data analysis of startup fundraising showing positive momentum for the first time in six quarters, based on investor engagement with pitch decks. The Pitch Deck Interest (PDI) metrics prompt hope for increased dealmaking in Q1, due to encouraging year-over-year (YoY) investor interest and founder activity. Despite market uncertainty, investor activity increased 1.7% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ), signaling encouraging progress into 2024. Conversely, founders were less active in sending out their pitch decks to investors in Q4, with activity dropping almost 6% QoQ. The YoY analysis shows a different, busier picture of Q4 for both investors and founders, as activity levels rose above 2022 for the first time. As investors' attention spans become scarce, founders are forced to streamline and condense their pitch decks to compete for seconds of mindshare. Year-to-date (YTD) data shows VC activity lagged in Q1 and Q2 of 2023, although the discrepancy includes efforts from 2021's strong finish that carried over into early 2022. Deal activity was down in 2023 as 38% of VCs disappeared from dealmaking in the first three quarters, according to Pitchbook. But Q4's 6.7% jump in investor engagement, per DocSend data, shows investors are increasingly interested in new opportunities to allocate capital, signaling a potential increase in dealmaking in early 2024. There are three core metrics unique to DocSend for tracking investors' hunger for deals and founders' quest for capital.
