VC Fund Performance: Q1 2026 | Carta
Carta's Q1 2026 VC fund performance report shows median net TVPI climbing for nearly every recent vintage over the past six quarters, reversing the post-2022 valuation reset. Despite rising unrealized valuations, realized returns (DPI) remain scarce, with less than 20% of 2017–2018 vintage funds reaching 1x DPI and most 2019–2020 funds barely returning any capital to LPs.
