Did you notice any investor trends in AUS vs the US? 🦘 Both countries have painted very different pictures of investor activity in 2024. 👀 US highlights: 🔻 Active investors dropped from 15,000+ in 2023 to just over 11,000 in 2024. 🔺 But here’s the twist: round valuations, sizes, and numbers are climbing. ✅ Fewer investors, but they’re deploying more capital. Australia highlights: 🌱 Angel investment is booming! 💲 More first-time investors and a surge in smaller, diversified checks. ⭐ Cheryl: “It’s pointing to a maturing ecosystem - investors are embracing portfolio theory.” While the US leans on fewer but bigger players, Australia is growing its angel community. Two markets on two very different paths. 🦄 Download the episode to dive deeper into these trends with Cheryl Mack from Aussie Angels and Maxine Minter from Co Ventures and learn what this means for founders on the latest First Cheque Podcast. 🎧 Thanks to our sponsors for helping to make this episode of First Cheque possible.
