Series E is a fundraising round that acts very similarly to that of D. Perhaps you’ve missed your previous targets, or maybe you’ve wanted to remain private further into the future?
Either way, it’s very rare to see companies progress to the Series E stage of investment, and founders usually make the move due to an unforeseen circumstance that wasn’t accounted for in earlier business plans.
This isn’t to say that moving into Series E is a bad thing, and it could prove highly lucrative for your future profit margins.
Once again, the level of finance raised at this stage is highly subjective, and dependant on too many variables to quantify. But Remember, at all phases of your start-up’s life, make sure you keep a level head and approach your plans with a critical eye – and there’s no reason why each stage of your fundraising rounds can’t be a resounding success.
