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).
