In general, there is consensus that this “reality check” was a necessary market correction. But it’s not without pain, as many founders face long investment cycles, an increasingly high bar for funding, and slower sales cycles. Bridge rounds, restructuring, many smaller M&A activity, and going into cockroach mode while founders aim to hit meaningful milestones are true signs of the times.With YTD numbers, we try to extrapolate how this year might end. Total funding is on track to have come down from 2022, but is on par with 2019 – indeed, returning to the mean. In the Q3 2023 VC Benchmark, we dig into the nuances around Seed to Series B+ across the US, Europe and Latin American markets, with voices from the trenches – founders and investors. In terms of quarter-over-quarter results, we’re happy to see an uptick in funding going to Series B+ companies, and a warming of the IPO market.Welcome to the Q3 VC Benchmark.
