Venture Math × VC Speaker Series: Inside the Data with Peter Walker
Venture Math is teaming up with the Berkeley Haas Venture Capital Club’s VC Speaker Series for a special co-hosted session with Peter Walker, Head of Insights at OpenRouter and former Head of Insights at Carta.
If you’ve spent any time on VC LinkedIn, you’ve seen Peter’s charts. At Carta, he turned data from more than 40,000 startups into some of the most-cited benchmarks in venture: valuations, round sizes, dilution, and more. In this session, he’ll take us inside the data: how those benchmarks are built, what they can and can’t tell you, and how to compare the median to your own deal.
What we’ll cover:
Where the benchmarks come from and what they miss
Reading a percentile: the median vs. your deal
What the data says founders get wrong
The numbers nobody publishes
Moderated by Lorenzo Barberis Canonico, President of Cassandra Labs.
🗓 Tuesday, November 10 | 4-6PM
📍 Chou Hall, Room N100, Berkeley Haas
Whether you’re a founder, a future VC, or just curious about how startup deals actually work, come ready with questions!
Co-hosted by Venture Math (presented by the Haas Fintech Club) and the Berkeley Haas Venture Capital Club.
