Compared to last year's record year, funding has decreased but is still much higher than before.

At the same time, the average deal size for early-stage and middle-stage startups even increased slightly. Late-stage startups are raising less money than last year ($35M vs. $50M), but the numbers are still high over a five-year horizon.
The average post-money valuation of startups has increased compared to last year. This applies to startups at all stages except Series E+. The capitalization of startups grew by 185% between funding rounds in the second quarter of 2022. The most significant part of investments fell in the USA (35%), the Asian region (34%), and Europe (22%).
