Silicon Valley Capital Flow — Week 38

This demonstration brief shows how a weekly SVI report can connect funding rounds to broader capital flows. It uses fictional companies and synthetic financings, and makes no claims about actual September 2026 market activity.

Start with capital concentration. A large aggregate funding total can be driven by a handful of rounds. Compare the median round with the largest round to understand how representative the headline number is.

Next, compare sectors over matching periods. A rise in absolute funding can coexist with a falling share of total capital. Both views belong in an investment-intelligence workflow.

Follow a round into the company profile to see its participants and then open an investor profile to explore co-investment relationships. These connections provide context that an aggregate chart cannot.
