The PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor, produced by NVCA and PitchBook, is the authoritative quarterly report on venture capital activity in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

What’s new: Our newly released Q3 2024 PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor report, created in partnership with J.P. Morgan, Dentons, and Deloitte with data and analysis on quarterly U.S. VC dealmaking, exit, and fundraising activity. 

Key takeaways

• The final exit value for Q3 was just $10.4 billion across 243 exit events – the lack of distributions to limited partners is exacerbating the dealmaking and fundraising stalemate 
• The number of VC-backed companies reached 57,674, a record high caused by companies being unable or unwilling to exit 
• $65.1 billion has been raised across 380 VC funds so far in 2024 – VC fundraising is on track to narrowly exceed 2023 level  
• Dry powder continues to grow, reaching $328.4 billion 

What’s next: Sign up to join the Venture Monitor team on October 30th for a webinar discussing the ongoing hurdles driving startups and their investors to approach the new year with great caution. And don’t forget to download the report and data pack to dive into the details.
