Medical Alley companies raised $167 million in investment in 2019’s first quarter, easily breaking last year’s Q1, which held the previous five-year high of $112 million. 2019’s Q1 record was powered by a medical device sector that had its best Q1 since 2015, raising $133.3 million in total, led by Nuvaira’s quarter-best $79 million Series E raise.
For the first time since 2015, Medical Alley startups’ median raise for a quarter broke $2 million, a 136% year-over-year increase on the heels of a 30% year-over-year increase from 2017 to 2018. Medical Alley’s early-stage companies are largely responsible for the improved median raise: five of the 10 largest rounds this quarter came from companies taking their Series B round or earlier and of the top 13 rounds, seven were either Series A or seed rounds.
