PRESS RELEASE

March 9, 2026 – NIN Ventures (or NIN.V), a crowdfunded technology venture capital firm, today pointed to the latest PitchBook data underscoring persistent challenges in traditional US venture capital fundraising and the timely role for innovative models like Crowdfunding.

Only $66.1 billion was raised by 537 funds in 2025. This has been the trend since the pandemic boom, where $222.9 billion was raised by 1,777 funds in 2022. “Venture is a cyclical business, although every business cycle is different, historical analysis suggests that the rhythm of cyclical fluctuations in the economy tends to follow a similar pattern. Last time we saw a dip in venture fund raising activity was in 2013,” said Ms. Desai, Crowdfunding Founder & CEO, NIN Ventures.

However, the dip is different this time around. As per Pitchbook-NVCA Venture Monitor, there is a record $299.3 billion of dry power as of June 30, 2025. One-third of today’s dry powder stems from funds raised during the pandemic-era boom, and GPs have continued to reserve more capital for follow-ons and portfolio support. In 2024, 30 firms raised 75% of all capital raised by VC funds in the US, with the majority of them investing in AI. While AI-driven enthusiasm has lifted sentiment, it has yet to accelerate deployment, creating a niche for other non-AI technology startups as well. Thus, it is time to give another look at Crowdfunding and NIN Ventures 2.0. The best time to Crowdfund was 2013-2015: the second best time is NOW!
