Overview

MarktoMarket presents its UK Equity Fundraising Report Q4 and Full Year 2024. The report covers data on equity fundraising activity by UK private companies in 2024.

The data used in this report has been extracted from the MarktoMarket platform, which captures announced and unannounced fundraising activity by UK-registered businesses.

Highlights

We segment the market into stages, based on the quantum of capital raised, as follows

Whole of market

Our Whole of Market data includes all UK equity fundraising events of greater than £250,000.

We estimate a fall in total deal values of 5-6% compared to 2023. As indicated by the chart, we expect the total to grow from the reported figure of 2,902 rounds to around 3,000 and do not, therefore, foresee volumes reaching 2023 levels.

Deal volumes in 2024 present a mixed picture across stages. Pre-Seed and Series A categories remained stable – Pre-Seed, which dominates the market in terms of deal volumes, is projected to land just below last year’s levels; whilst the Series A total is estimated to fall by 3%. In contrast, Seed round deal volume is anticipated to drop by 20% compared to 2023.

Contrary to the fall in deal volumes, total capital raised is estimated to grow more than 10% in 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. When capital raised is analysed by stages, the influence of Series B+ in total deal values is evident.
