KPMG Private Enterprise publishes Venture Pulse every quarter, using venture data from PitchBook. This Q3 2026 edition was released on October 14, 2026, with data as of September 30, 2026.
The deck opens with a welcome letter and a contents page, then runs the same module for each region: a big-number divider, a two-page narrative with a 'Trends to watch' callout, and a fixed sequence of charts (quarterly financing, median deal size, valuations, deal share, sector mix, corporate VC, exits, fundraising), ending with a top-10 deal map. Every chart slide uses an action title such as 'Late-stage valuations push past 2021 highs' that states the takeaway.
