Data dump for founders working this weekend - full benchmarks for US venture on valuation, amount raised, and dilution.
From: 760 primary rounds raised by companies on Carta in Q2 2024.
Data is across sectors and locations. But we can give out some similar details for your specific sector (or your state, if that's better), give me a shout in the comments.
Note on dilution: the figures are calculated for each deal and then the aggregate is taken (25th / 50th / 75th). So you can't just read across the valuation and the cash raised to get the dilution in the third column.
From my conversations with founders, it seems like a great deal of companies are looking to fundraise this fall - hopefully this market context helps!
