Prognozowany średnioroczny wzrost (CAGR) europejskiego rynku aftermarket do 2035 roku.
BCG2024Europe
A funding round at a valuation lower than the previous one.
Why it matters
Enables raising capital when results or market conditions fail to meet expectations — sometimes the only alternative to shutting down the company.
What's missing without it
Without agreeing to a lower valuation, there may not be enough cash to cover the next month.
When it is used
When the market turns or growth proves slower than projected.
How we use it
Series B at a valuation lower than Series A.
Fun fact
A down round typically triggers investor protection mechanisms that dilute founders much more severely than the valuation difference alone would suggest.
