Somehow, some way, the third quarter is nearly over. That means we’re gearing up for a wave of venture capital data that will start to drop in less than two weeks’ time. We’re itching to get our hands on the final numbers because the third quarter of 2022 is a pretty damn important data point.

Why? Because Q1 2022 was replete with deals that got started back in 2021, when venture economics were spitting out very different valuations and deal sizes than we see today. The second quarter was similar, in that it was not a fully decelerated period. (Y Combinator’s Michael Seibel noted in a recent interview that it wasn’t obvious how slow things were going to get until April or May.)
