The key insight this week
Sayonara, Q2 2023. And good riddance!
Our full report on all things startups in Q2 is now live. In it, you'll find:
Valuations and fundraising totals for Seed-Series E+ rounds
Share of down rounds, bridge rounds, and acquisitions
Regional and state-level invested totals
Employee equity trends
Other goodies
Read the Q2 State of Private Markets
As it's just us here, I'll let you in on a secret: we will be publishing a new suite of smaller reports to augment the data in the State of Private Markets. Every Tuesday one of these mini-reports will go live on site, starting with a look into Pre-Seed on the 8th.
We'll bounce from industries (Fintech, Consumer, Health) to locations (West, East, South, Midwest) to maybe even some thematic analysis (looking into this AI thing).
Can't wait to share it all with you!
Sappy note - it's officially been 1 year since this Data Minute newsletter first hit inboxes. I sincerely hope you feel the same pinch of curiosity reading this weekly that I do creating it.
