About the event
Series A round sizes have skyrocketed — a seed round today would easily have been a Series A three years ago. So why are rounds ballooning and how can founders raise big bucks? This Sifted Talks will explore how Series A has changed and what founders need to know to raise their next round.
We'll be discussing
- Chunky cheques: Why have Series A round sizes skyrocketed? Is seed the new Series A?
- It's all in your network: How can founders build relationships with VCs? What steps do you need to take to prepare for a Series A investor meeting? How are expectations different from seed?
- Spending smart: How should founders spend their Series A? What challenges come with entering the next phase of growth?
