Series A

“We raised our CRSA before we launched Launch the app. Actually, we raised the CRSA on the same day we launched the app.”

“Less than twenty million. In terms of equity capital, but a significant amount, especially for a Canadian raise the Canadian VC scene is vastly different than the American VC scene.”

“The consensus seems to be a million dollars ARR, which equates to about 70, 75 K eight grand per month.”

“A Swedish round a could be basically 500,000 dollars.”

“The next round that we're trying to raise is Series A and a pretty standard amount of revenue that a Series A investor is looking for is, you know, in the one to five million revenue range per year.”

“Series A, you're generally, you know, looking at more like 20 to 30%, and if you're looking at a series B, you're anywhere from maybe 15 to 25% at the max.”

“I think a lot of companies make the mistake in series a round and sort of grabbing, you know, the biggest valuation they can possibly get away with. And I think that makes it tough in the following rounds.”

“I mean, there's no point in going and doing a five million dollar series A if we can't make use of that capital very quickly.”

“You need to be performing well, you need to have a really good ACV, you need to show how you are scaling up your sales team. And one of the most basic APIs is to be over at least 100 KMR. If you want to raise a really good Tuesday, at least with a top tier inv…”

“Lower.”

“Yes, we've raised about 7.1 million dollars. We just closed our series A in December.”

“I think a good AIR at a million bucks is gonna get us a really nice Series A. Where you're selling 10, 20% of the company in good terms? 10, 20% of the company in good terms, you know pre-money valuation between the 15 to twenty-ish.”

“In every round, you know, think of it as a 30% dilution event because your investor is you know, they want to own a certain percent of their company. That's usually about, you know, again, people give ranges of the series A level about they want to own 20% aft…”

“Within a classic seed round or angel round, we called it of 650 K. Then we did you know, classic real seed round of two and a quarter million dollars. Then we did a series A of six million dollars.”

“Well, I guess it was ten million rates. So. Okay. 20, yeah. 20 pre and 30 posts.”

“You know, the last, as of the Series A, we'd raise twelve million dollars.”

“So typical check size is anywhere between five to ten million dollars going in, It's a series A”

“It was a simple Series A. It was, like, mid-single digits.”

“So we raised a three million dollar seed, and then we completely failed at raising a sort of a decent sized series A, and we ended up doing like a three million bridge, and that was about it.”

“So we've raised seven million in series A.”

“We are planning to go to the market in Q-IV to do a series A.”

“We've never done a formal series A.”

“Typical series A, you know, in Boulder standards, that's three to five million in the Bay area. That's six to ten million.”

“I think in Colorado, we typically, and I'm just saying this based on people I've known raises that they've done. We're typically seeing three on eight.”

“Profitable out of the gate. So we're not looking to jump from the different to series A or anything like that.”

“Then we raised like nine months in, we raised four million dollars series a, which was promptly blown on the original marketplace idea.”

“We're in it. We're sort of doing an institutional series Aries, and looking to looking to perhaps go between the months of Jan and then northwards from there to try closing that out.”

“We are right now targeting for Series A probably next year.”

“It's hard to make the jump from angel to series A now is almost impossible because the VCs have all moved downstream to the big money place.”

“There are series A and after entanglements, which I would much rather avoid if I can.”

“I've seen series A companies in our space as low as 25 pre money and all the way up to forty million pre money.”

“Post series A, it's usually between six and nine. So it's in that range.”

“We're looking at the safe note more as a bridge financing because we don't want to rule through a series A till we go past two million dollars in ARR.”

“We were not in a place where we raised when we were at less than zero. We already had significant cash on the balance sheet when we raised, and that's how we were able to raise on terms that allowed us to eventually put us in a position to buy out our series A…”

“Well, the company was doing services in 2009, all the way till 2015. We, this is before the first oil price dip and we raised a twenty million dollars in series A.”

“So a minimum of ten million US dollars, but indications right now is that the market with the right multiple is willing to put in between 20 and thirty million US dollars. So, so it would probably be plus 20.”

“Our target was somewhere close to probably about 10 was what we were thinking about raising ten million.”

“So there's no, I've taken that off the table given how exhausting it was to raise some of the money just internally right now. So so no plan, no plans of like a formal series A at this point.”

“Probably about sort of a six or a seven. And then do a major A round in sort of February, March.”

“In fact, we had the potential of competing term sheet. We had a term sheet for a series. I mean, we were we actually ended up turning things down because we felt like this was a very, very rare type of acquisition that we could have easily walked away from.”

“The folks that are getting the highest multiples on their series A rounds are not the ones going revenue the fastest. It's the ones that have the highest net dollar retention, you know, one, 21, 30%.”

“We'll probably raise a series a sometime in the next 12 months.”

“So we're looking to raise about fifteen million.”

“Right now we are targeting to raise more than 20, thirty million dollars.”

“To me, if you're giving up more than 20% equity in a series A, like everyone's different, but personally I would never do that.”

“Most of the deals I'm seeing today, at least folks that come on the show, the series A's folks are selling between 10 and 20% today.”

“We're talking about 10 to 12.”

“This is why we're looking to do these series a in the second semester of 2022. We want to reach this moment with three metrics, very consolidated, which are clubs acquisitions. So right now we're working with more or less 3000 sports clubs and we want To reach…”

“This year, we just raised our series A. So we're going to expand to eight more states.”

“Yeah, I think six to eight million is what we're looking at.”

“Most people in their series A these days, you know, they're selling between 10 and 15% of the business.”

“You don't raise Series A until you got at least 1.5 million.”

“If you're approaching that seed stage, median employees around 16, series A, 36, 82 for series B.”

“Seed, product market fit, series A, prove you can sell it, series B, prove you can expand and keep those customers, series C and beyond, make it repeatable, profitable, and predictable, and then a big milestone, take a capital efficient model, move it to adjac…”

“I think that, that most good funds and good deals are still looking somewhere between 12 and 18%. Some maybe 20%. Ownership in a round of the Series A style round. So, you know, anything in that range is, I think, acceptable.”

“75% of it, so ten million plus now.”

“Seed has gotten deconstructed. So the, I'd say it's very rarely the case that a company just does one seed round and then, Go straight to series A. I mean, that of course does happen quite a lot, but in many other cases, the company ends up doing a seed to or …”

“That was last year, and right now we're raising an A. Okay, interesting. And we have a couple of term sheets in play right now.”

“It was not a four X, it was almost a five X in our series A round.”

“That was probably worse timing because it was at the end of, it was December of 20, 21. So it was literally right as we were falling off the cliff, right before we fell off the cliff. And so we got an amazing valuation at that. And then the few years after it …”

“I want to say that it was in the I mean, more than 15 X. More than 15 X.”

“Not at the Series A, to be frank. I think, Both my founder and I are very much focused on the business right now. Don't have the need to take some money off the table at this point. And so it wasn't part of what we optimize for as founders.”

“We just announced our Twenty million dollar series a at the turn of the year. And with that also announced three hundred million phone calls automated to date, which is just, you know, when you start from nothing and you start at the beginning, three hundred m…”
