The deal size is back thru the roof in this week's current edition. We saw a slight drop off last week, but apparently that was an anomaly due to Rosh Hashanah and the Labor Day weekend before that. This week, the deals are back in scale, and more over the $100M total than we can post here.

To give you a perspective, the LOWEST funding level in this Top 5 list for the summer was a $500M Series G for equity management system Carta.
