SpaceX's $1.7 trillion IPO gave H1 2026 the largest exit total in venture history, and deal value for the first half already surpassed the full-year 2025 total. 📊 On paper, the venture market is breaking records. But those records are being set by a vanishingly small number of players. 📉 Capital is concentrating at the top: AI mega-rounds, a handful of established fund managers, and a small number of unicorns approaching IPO are absorbing most of it. 🔔 With 945 unicorns still waiting for a liquidity path, pressure is building across the rest of the market. 💰 Join PitchBook and NVCA analysts on August 11 to unpack what the data actually means for the second half of the year.

Spreadsheets were never built to monitor trillions in AUM, and PE firms and credit funds relying on them are about to feel the strain. Retail investors are gaining access to private markets, and the reporting bar is rising right along with them. 📈 On this episode of the #PEFunCast, Devin Mathews talks with Kevin Hsu, founder of Lumonic, a PitchBook company, about what happens when public and private markets converge and spreadsheets can't keep up. 🎙️ Kevin's early career revealed the gap between what VCs and PE firms need from a monitoring tool, a gap now driving PE's push toward transparency. Devin and Kevin get tactical: build your own stack, stick with what you have, or switch, plus how to handle the portfolio companies that never fit the standard playbook. 🤔 Listen to the full conversation on PE FunCast. 🎧 https://lnkd.in/dYiCEuxe #PEFunCast #PrivateEquity #PortfolioMonitoring
