Finance Watch: Many Mega-Rounds, Some Smaller VC Deals, But Few In The Middle
$100m-Plus Financings Leave Little For Mid-Sized Rounds

Private Company Edition: June’s eight $100m-plus venture capital rounds already outpace the seven each raised in March, April and May, including €255m ($274.2m) for ITM and $200m for Upstream, but while there were five $25m or less VC financings during the past week, mid-sized deals were lacking.
