After a strong January and February this year, which both exceeded monthly transaction totals when compared to 2007, March is our first month where total numbers of deals and investment are down from the prior year, according to Go4Venture. We tracked 29 investments in March 2008 according to our proprietary Headline Transaction Index (HTI), down 37% from 46 in March last year. Total monthly amount invested also fell year-over-year to €200.4mn, down 15% from €234.7mn. Without this month’s landmark funding for SpinVox ($100mn or €64.4mn), total amount invested in March would have been €136mn, representing a fall of 42% from the same month last year.
