# Deal flow: what can be listed responsibly?

**Broader, independently evidenced capital events/activities:**

1. **Q3 2026 US venture financing:** NVCA reports $98.4bn in estimated 5,012 deals. This is a **market aggregate**, not one “founder advisory deal”. [PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor, Q3 2026](https://nvca.org/pitchbook-nvca-venture-monitor/)
2. **Through-Q3 2026 US venture funds:** $108.5bn raised, concentrated in larger managers. This is **fund capital-raising**, not service-procurement deal flow. [PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor, Q3 2026](https://nvca.org/pitchbook-nvca-venture-monitor/)
3. **2025–26 global coaching market:** ICF shows supply market size and survey context, but no verified list of comparable private founder-review contracts. [2025 ICF Global Coaching Study](https://coachingfederation.org/resources/research/global-coaching-study/)
4. **Visible supplier service offers:** Burkland advertises strategic finance, Reboot advertises portfolio coaching circles and YC publishes SAFE templates. These evidence adjacent products, **not undisclosed transaction volumes**. [Burkland: Strategic Finance for Startups](https://burklandassociates.com/services/strategic-finance/) [Reboot Portfolio Circles](https://www.reboot.io/service/portfolio-circles/) [The SAFE — Y Combinator](https://www.ycombinator.com/safe)

**Named, priced founder decision-advisory contract announcements:** none independently verified in this pass. The absence of public contract values is an evidence gap, not evidence that no transactions occur. Avoid inventing private contract deal values.
