Unsurprisingly, biotechnology investment exploded during the pandemic with biotechnology PE and public offering investment in North America exceeding $45.7 billion in 2021. Between 2020 and 2021, $86.3 billion was invested ($78.8 billion in PE and $7.5 billion in public offerings), which exceeded the combined four-year total between 2016 and 2019 ($82.3 billion). The largest deal in 2021 was Seattle-headquartered Sana Biotechnology’s IPO that raised $588 million. The next two largest deals—and half of the top 10 deals— were for companies headquartered in Boston.
