Series G Funding
Subject – Economy
Context – Funding blitz: Four start-ups raise over $1.2 billion from new, existing investors
Concept –
- Every round of funding represents new opportunity for the business, but also presents the possibility of diluting the company’s equity and valuation.
- Very few companies are going to make it to Series F funding or Series G funding, but it is possible. Some notable financial services have found themselves getting Series F or Series G funding, because capital is so inherent to the ways that they do business.
- Series G is the 8th Fundraising event at a start-up (first one being seed fundraising round).
- Or it is the 9th Fundraising event (if there is a pre-series A between seed and series-A).
- In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, more businesses have been entering the latter stages of funding to ensure that they survive without having to suffer heavy losses due to a lack of productivity or consumer power.
- Some start-ups have found great success from these late stages of funding.
- While the latter series of fundraising may feel like a level of failure for your start-up, it’s important to remember that every business is different and some endeavours can comfortably enter new rounds of funding for a variety of reasons that don’t signify that failure’s inevitable.
