Note From the Editors
This year’s Venture Capital Report offers a detailed review of the US venture capital market, including a breakdown of venture financing activity by state, and analyzes key trends shaping the year ahead. We examine the recent uptick in VC funding “mega-rounds” and discuss the FTC’s efforts to standardize non-compete laws across the country and what this means for new and emerging companies. We also track recent trends in convertible note and SAFE terms, venture financing terms, and VC-backed company M&A deal terms.
Please stay in touch with us by following the WilmerHale Launch blog and subscribing to our mailing lists, which will keep you up to date on the latest developments involving emerging companies, startups and venture capital. You can also access this year’s M&A Report and IPO Report for a deep dive into those areas.
Thanks for reading.
