Venture Capital
By stage
Below we break venture capital into three distinct stages:
- Startup stage ($0-15M rounds)
- Breakout stage ($15-100M rounds)
- Scaleup stage ($100M+ rounds).
This provides more consistent and timeless segmentation of the startup & venture capital landscape (more so than self-reported round labelling, which are applied inconsistently, especially between business cycles).
