StartupsFrom idea to funding round and exit

SERIES C+

Series C and beyond

Subsequent funding rounds, from $50 million to $200 million and more, aimed at market consolidation, acquisitions, and preparing for an IPO.

Why it matters

Accelerates the path for investors to exit with a profit.

What's missing without it

Without them, it's hard to build global scale when competitors are raising hundreds of millions.

When it is used

When you're a leader in your niche and targeting an IPO or a strategic sale.

How we use it

A $100 million round just before going public.

Fun fact

More and more companies are raising Series D and E rounds instead of going public — private capital has grown so much that the stock exchange is no longer the only path to big money.
