New Delhi, June 3 Less than one in three startups that attract seed funding manage to raise follow-on funding in the form of a 'Series A' round, a study by Venture Intelligence shows.
Out of the over 2,500 startups that had raised seed funding between 2015 and 2022, only 29 per cent (i.e., 734 companies) managed to raise a Series A round (typically the first round of institutional Venture Capital funding), the study titled 'Series A Landscape Report' found.
However, once a startup attracts a Series A round, its success ratio in raising subsequent rounds of capital improves quite significantly.
For instance, 50 per cent of the companies that raised a Series A during the study period succeeded in raising a Series B round. And, of the startups that attracted a Series B round, 62 per cent succeeded in obtaining a Series C round.
Of the Series C funded companies, 70 per cent managed to raise rounds that were Series D and beyond, the study found.
