Doug, love these charts - would be great to keep this up every quarter!
Just a heads up it looks like there may have only been an estimated 2,856 deals by VC-backed companies in Q1'2023 (not ~4k). Of course, it's just an estimate, but that's a 25% difference.
"The pace of decline in total VC deal value appears to be slowing as both deal value and count level off. VC-backed companies raised $37 billion in Q1 across an estimated 2,856 deals. Late stage deals fell for the seventh straight quarter, and even angel and seed-stage deals declined sharply, hitting a 10-quarter low, despite showing resilience through 2022."
