We don't have a full count of rounds yet, so can't show total fundraising or total rounds raised.
My guess is that fundraising activity rose a little from Q4 but not a major leap.
But clear pattern at early stage for robust valuations and fairly robust round sizes as well.
Share with a fundraising founder so they can understand today's market + comment below with a specific industry and stage and I'll see if I can whip up sector-specific stats.
Be sure to navigate to our blog to read the full report and get primary AND bridge round data.
