Stat: 4.6%. That’s how much the average income tax refund increased YoY, from $2,878 in April 2023 to $3,011 as of April 5th. (Axios)

Quote: “Wall Street has never been known for high character and high values. Is there a willingness to support Trump if it looks like he’s on the right track? Yes. I’m not proud of that, and I’m not part of that either.”—Dan Lufkin, co-founder of investment bank Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette (Bloomberg)

The May jobs report will drop on Friday: Little change is expected from April, when the unemployment rate ticked up to 3.9% and fewer jobs were added than expected (175,000). This jobs report will be one of the final pieces of economic data to drop before the Fed meets on June 11th and 12th. The central bank is unlikely to announce an interest rate cut.

Software is no longer eating the world. For the first time, chip stocks now account for the heaviest weighting in the S&P 500, taking the top spot away from software companies last week. Salesforce and other enterprise software giants are getting crushed as companies prioritize generative AI investments (chips and servers) over SaaS products.

DIGITAL HEALTH: Technology Start-Ups

The “new normal” is characterized by fewer deals, smaller deal sizes, and fewer investors, Rock Health found in a recent study. And if funding in the second half of the year continues at its current pace, 2023 will be the lowest digital health funding year since 2019, according to the report, authored primarily by research associates Mihir Somaiya and Madelyn Knowles. For example, in the first half of 2023:

  • Digital health startups raised $6.1 billion in 244 deals. The average deal size was $24.8 million.
  • In Q1, startups raised $3.5 billion in 131 deals, and $2.5 billion over 113 deals in Q2.
  • 555 investors were involved in fund raises, compared to 775 in the first half of 2022 and 832 in the first half of 2021. Of those investors, 71% had previously invested in digital health.
  • There were roughly 12 digital health startup acquisitions per month, compared to 15 monthly in 2022 and 14 each month for the past five years.

The lack of dollars flowing to companies is already reverberating: Some startups are closing down. Pear Therapeutics filed for bankruptcy in April and sold its assets to four buyers in May. Other digital health startups—SimpleHealth, The Pill Club, Hurdle, and Quil Health—also closed in the first half of 2023.

Assessment: There may be fewer investors overall, but those still investing in digital health are putting a lot of money down, according to Rock Health.
