General VC Questions

Where to find trends in the industry?

What are the resources that everyone here uses for staying on top of trends. There are oodles of media out there, which would be most trustworthy for keeping a finger on the pulse? Currently looking at Pitchbook, Carta newsletter, ExecSum Newsletter, and some Fortune Newsletters, anything in particular I should add to this roster?

Pitchbook does not have accurate data for early stage funds or startups. Avoid them. Neither do some of the other sources you mentioned. To get more accurate information on trends, specialize in areas of focus and find industry publications and data. In addition, check the blog on govclab.com for VC related trends.
