Three takeaways from the 2019 venture capital market
Hello and welcome back to our regular morning look at private companies, public markets and the gray space in between.
Today we’re digging into the Q4 venture capital market — specifically unpacking three pieces of data that stood out as we read the Crunchbase News Q4 global report — and Pitchbook and NVCA’s comparative, U.S.-focused Q4 data dive. As always, each contains a wealth of charts and numbers, so if you have a specific question, happy hunting.
