5. Bullish Key Findings
Both deal and dollar volume are up across
almost all stages, and round sizes continue to
grow.
Across most measures, the global VC market is
on track to return to previous highs by the end of
this year, if growth continues.

6. Bearish Key Findings
Despite growth in dollar and deal volume,
measures of late-stage financings suggest a
return to historic highs will be slower to come.
Also, very late-stage technology growth equity
rounds have continued a multi-quarter
downtrend.

40. About “Projected” Data
Crunchbase uses projections for global and U.S.
trend analysis.
Crunchbase bases these projections on historical
patterns in late reporting, which are most
pronounced at the earliest stages of venture
activity.
Using projected data helps prevent undercounting
or reporting skewed trends that only correct over
time. All projected values are noted accordingly.

41. About “Reported” Data
Certain metrics, like mean and median reported
round sizes, were generated using only reported
data.
Unlike with projected data, Crunchbase
calculates these kinds of metrics based only on
the data it currently has.
All reported values are noted accordingly.

42. About Foreign Currency
All funding values are given in U.S. dollars unless
otherwise noted.
Crunchbase converts foreign currencies to US dollars
at the prevailing spot rate from the date funding
rounds, acquisitions, IPOs, and other financial events
are reported.
Even of those events were added to Crunchbase
long after the event was announced, foreign
currency transactions are converted at the historic
spot price.
