Most published venture data often reflect only a portion of the market. These datasets are skewed toward the coasts, where reporting is more consistent and venture capital is more concentrated. That means early-stage trends from the middle of the country often go underreported or unnoticed.

VW Signals is Vela Wood’s answer to that gap. Based in Texas and deeply embedded in the early-stage ecosystem, we see the deals that don’t always make the headlines—especially at the Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A stages. VW Signals highlights the patterns we’re seeing across our venture practice and aims to offer a clearer view into early-stage investing between the coasts.
