From the latest data on VC activity, it seems safe to assume that we—as the emerging generation of VCs—have been keeping rather busy. The second quarter of 2021 was the most active quarter for venture capital activity in history, measured by total dollars invested. While the number of deals relaxed from the first quarter, there’s never been a busier time for VCs. There are of course secondary impacts with this flurry of activity: rounds have been getting larger; valuations are inching higher; and a record number of startups crossed the chasm into unicorn status. While it’s unclear how things will ultimately shake out, today the environment for raising capital for startups and, by extension, for being a VC has never been better.
