Key Finding For Q3
Crunchbase News reports that, in the third quarter,
worldwide deal and dollar volume totals have each
(barely) surpassed Q2 levels. This would make Q3
2018 the most active quarter for worldwide
startup investment on record. Moreover, we know
that 2018 has already passed 2017’s global VC
dollar volume record, and that is with a whole
other quarter to go.

30. Global VC Report – Q3 2018
Key Finding For Q3
Even companies with very short operating track
records and messy balance sheets are managing
to go public. The IPO window is very much open.
This being said, the M&A market continues to be
wishy-washy, worldwide, which weighs on bloated
portfolios in need of exits.

Methodology

39. Global VC Report – Q3 2018
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.

40. Global VC Report – Q3 2018
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.

41. Global VC Report – Q3 2018
About Foreign Currencies
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 if those events were added to Crunchbase long after
the event was announced, foreign currency transactions
are converted at the historic spot price.
