Methodology

Deals tracked by Value Add VC from filings, wire releases and news outlets — not a total for the whole market or a complete list of every VC firm's activity. Data window: 2026-01-01 through 2026-10-14 (2026 year-to-date).

The first table ranks by deals LED (lead-investor credit only); the second by total deals participated in (lead + participant, any credited role). Public companies, debt, fund closes, acquisitions and unverified/rumored rounds are excluded.
