Nothing happened. This data is incomplete, "expectation that the dip won't look quite so severe when additional information comes in." And if you look at the other charts, everything is just fine. All this means is that more small deals were done in Q1, rather than big deals. Just stick to comparing A, B, C rounds, not overall value of pre-money rounds.

Yeah I like how the author summed up the analysts statement as "a big fat, dunno" when in reality she said "the data is incomplete".
