Data speaks louder than my words, so let’s have a look. I asked the PitchBook team to pull venture capital’s 10 most active U.S. investors from the second quarter of 2021, then compare those figures to this year. Here’s what they found, in this little nifty chart I put together:

All of last year’s top investors have pumped the brakes in the second quarter, versus last year. (Please note that this data is as of June 28, so there may be a few straggler deals.)

CB Insights has pegged a 23% global decline in venture funding this quarter, compared to last. To be sure, funding levels have been historic over the last two years—but a drop by nearly one-quarter drop is nothing to sneeze at.

Investors are writing fewer checks—and smaller ones. That being said, there’s still a lot of activity happening, and firms are continuing to launch new funds—and really don’t seem to be having much trouble getting their LPs to buy in.

Will this hold true after LPs digest those second quarter’s performance returns? That raises a question…

Does VC/PE quarterly investment performance matter to LPs? It’s a question I posed on Twitter last Friday and one I plan to keep exploring. If you are an LP, I’d love to hear from you. Please reach out! GPs–what are you hearing?

And now for this month’s timely cartoon, brought to you by Ian Foley:
