Market data and deal flow

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
  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
  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
  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 Reboot Portfolio Circles The SAFE — Y Combinator

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.
