There were only two megadeals in September, the same as in August.
The largest deal, worth about $43.2m, was sealed by Singapore’s Oatside.
Despite a V-shaped rebound from March-July, startup funding is far from last year’s peak.
A 3.5x surge in growth-stage investments offset a decline in early-stage activity.
Without the lone megadeal, July’s funding value would have fallen month-on-month.
Only one deal crossed the $100m mark.
At 229 , the deal count hit a month-over-month growth of 15.7%.
The biggest equity deal in June was worth only $53m.
