Health Unicorns Trends

As the COVID-19 storm swept across the globe, the world of healthtech began to flourish in unexpected ways.

Amidst this shift, healthtech startups and digital healthcare platforms emerged as champions, capturing the lion’s share of VC investments for a number of quarters.

According to HolonIQ, there are 140 healthtech unicorns around the world who were collectively valued at over US $320 billion in February 2023.

When adding medtech and biotech, that number increases to 200 health unicorns born in the last 10 years.

53 have exited, the vast majority (47) through IPO or SPAC, leaving 147 based on last valuations.
