Device VC Funding Rebounds in 2Q, Outpaces Other Healthcare Sectors

Healthcare companies saw a comeback in venture capital investments during the 2013 second quarter, following a drop earlier in the year, and devicemakers were the big winner, according to a recent report from CB Insights, which tracks venture capital spending. “The $1.81B invested in Q2 was a 24 percent increase from last quarter,” according to the report. That figure, spread over 151 deals, is the second-highest total of the last five quarters — the highest being $1.98B in the fourth quarter of last year, spent over 164 deals.
