The leadership read
DPI Venture Capital raising is a leading indicator for everyone it is about to fund. Capital at the fund level converts into operator demand across a portfolio, not into appointments at the manager. The EMEA question is which stage and sector the fund leans into, because that is the shape of the hiring that follows next year.
Market context: MitchelLake's Talent Market Index sits at 109.3 (Hot), up 7.6 on the prior month; EMEA hiring signal is running easing (-3.6pts).
