Philadelphia Venture Report 2026 and Venture Report Townhall
By: Roland Nichols
PACT is proud to announce the upcoming release of the Philadelphia Venture Report, the region’s definitive annual analysis of venture capital activity. The report is produced in collaboration with PitchBook, a leading financial data platform that provides deep intelligence on private markets, including venture capital, private equity, M&A, and public companies.
PitchBook is widely used by investors, founders, and advisors for research, deal sourcing, market analysis, and due diligence. Its robust data tracks companies, investors, funds, and transactions across the full investment lifecycle, from early-stage startups to public exits.
The Philadelphia Venture Report will be publicly released in February 2026 and will be available for free on PACT’s website.
To mark the release of this year’s report, PACT will host the PACT Venture Report Townhall on February 18, in partnership with the University City Science Center and Ben Franklin Technology Partners. This new event is designed to share key insights from the report, spark meaningful discussion, and connect leaders shaping Greater Philadelphia’s innovation economy.
