Private Market Valuation Observations.

Series B and Series C company valuations remained elevated in the first half of 2022 before softening over the course of the second half of the year

Quality deal volume is very low ⇒ most high performing businesses elected not to raise

Early stage valuations were quick to correct falling 25-50% ⇒ much more consistent fundraises over the course of 2022

Absolute valuations are falling, while market opportunities remain very large

Flight to quality for founders looking for investors who have experience and are purpose built for the early stages

Fewer funded competitors in any given category as fewer companies are able to raise and stay in business, leading to marginally easier hiring and less expensive growth

Financing constraints lead to better business fundamentals early on
