Early data from a number of sources indicates that the venture capital market continued its resuscitation from the 2008 crisis during the third quarter of 2013. CB Insights reports that 857 venture deals representing $7.2 billion were completed last quarter, which, by their data, would be the highest rate of dealflow since the dotcom era. Other sources report a similar number of deals, but find that some quarters in recent years have been more active. Initial public offerings (IPOs), mergers and acquisitions (M&As) and valuations have all risen over the last few quarters, though venture fundraising is down for the year, according to data from the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) and Thomson Reuters.
