We discuss two PitchBook reports, the "Q3 2024 Emerging Tech Indicator," analysing angel, seed, and early-stage venture capital investment activity within a select group of top-performing firms. Key findings highlight consistent investment in AI & ML, despite overall deal count fluctuations, with significant investments in biotech and fintech also noted. The report provides a detailed breakdown of investment by sector, including deal values and counts, and explores trends in median deal sizes and valuations. A methodology for ranking leading venture capital firms is described, based on exit percentages, follow-on investment, and average compound annual growth rates (CAGRs). Finally, the report provides contact information for PitchBook analysts covering various technology sectors.
