Methodology and sourcing behind the figures shown above.

Angel dealflow network

Used available market figures for the broader angel/angel-funds market as a proxy for the addressable market for angel dealflow networks (platforms and networks that source and curate angel opportunities). BusinessResearchInsights reports global angel funds at ~USD 63.28B (2026) with a 12.5% CAGR; independent market commentary on angel investing platforms projects ~14.6% CAGR. Because angel dealflow networks sit within and service the angel funds ecosystem, the market-size proxy is the angel funds market and growth potential is set between the published CAGR estimates (12.5%–14.6%), rounded to a midpoint of 13.5%.

Early-stage syndication and co-investment

Estimated annual global market for early-stage (pre-seed/seed) syndication and co-investment derived as a subset of broader co-invest and venture activity. Search results show global co-invest capital at ~$33.2B in 2024 and historical co-invest volume ranging up to $61B (2021) with $30.6B in 2023; global venture deal value was ~$209B in 2024. Early-stage pre-seed/seed co-invests typically represent a small share of total co-invest capital because ticket sizes are lower and co-invest activity concentrates in later stages. Assuming an approximate 7–9% share of 2024 co-invest capital (33.2B * ~0.08 ≈ $2.7B) yields the market-size estimate. Growth potential (CAGR ~15%) reflects strong LP interest, increasing allocation plans, platformization and in-house co-invest teams that should drive above-market growth from this smaller base, consistent with observed rebound and structural drivers in co-invest and venture markets.

VC scout training and professional development

No explicit global figure for VC-scout training was available in the results. I derived the estimate by placing the niche as a small subset of broader professional development/career-training and digital education markets: professional development (~$573B, 6.0% CAGR), career development & training (~$433.6B, 5.5% CAGR) and digital education (growing from ~$32B to ~$96B, 24.2% CAGR). Assuming VC-scout training represents a very small share of these markets (low‑tenths of a percent), the global addressable market for dedicated VC-scout training and fellowships is estimated at roughly $0.2B. Growth potential is above general professional development (driven by digital delivery, micro‑programs, and rising interest in VC careers) so a mid‑teens CAGR (~12%) is used, between broad professional-development (~6%) and digital-education growth rates (~24%).

VC research library and curated resources

Estimated the addressable market by applying a plausible vendor-research spend share to the total global venture capital market figures found in the search results. MarketResearchFuture reports the global VC market at ~$300.6B (2024) with a 20.12% CAGR; The Business Research Company projects the VC market at $671.05B by 2030 with a 10.2% CAGR. Assuming VC firms, LPs and related buyers spend roughly 0.3%–0.5% of deployed/managed VC capital on subscription research, curated libraries and premium market-intelligence (benchmarks from comparable investment-data and market-intelligence spends), the implied range is about $0.9B–$1.5B. I chose a mid-point estimate of $1.0B. For growth, VC market CAGRs in sources range ~10–20%; niche digital research/subscription services typically grow faster than overall VC deployment due to SaaS adoption and data-driven decisioning, so a 12% CAGR is applied.
