Sector performance
In 2024, investors in the growth equity and venture
capital space focused on technology-driven companies
accelerating digital transformation. Competition for
high-quality assets intensified, driving up valuations and
leading to more complex deal structures.
Evolving regulations, particularly foreign direct investment
controls, influenced AI-related transactions, while ESG
considerations remained central to investment strategies,
reinforcing investors’ commitment to responsible practices.
Hogan Lovells activities
In 2024, our global Growth Equity, Emerging Company,
and Venture Capital team advised financial investors,
strategics, rapidly-growing companies, founders, and
other sources of capital — including sovereign wealth
funds and corporates — on investments at every stage of
the fundraising lifecycle, from initial investment to
follow-on rounds and exit.
Our team remained active guiding clients on transactions
involving companies leveraging transformative technology,
as growth capital and venture capital continued to fuel
innovation and large-scale growth. Our work spanned a
wide range of sectors, including AI and AI-driven
software, biotech, climate tech and energy transition,
FinTech, and InsurTech.
