While the number of angel rounds decreased with the pandemic, the number of VC rounds grew - but more importantly, the size of the rounds skyrocketed. More than $600B were raised in 2021, twice as much as companies raised in 2020. But, this is a select club. In the US alone, over 5 million new business registrations happened in 2021, but less than 4,500 early-stage companies raised any venture capital. That is a mere 0.08% SO MANY companies are not venturing backable (one of the reasons we decided to pivot our product into something that any startup, not just venture-backable companies would find useful). So again, with that context here are some stats that show the reality of SaaS companies- courtesy of our friends at ChartMogul. -- 0:00 Raise Venture Capital - Intro 1:33 Raise Venture Capital - Fundraising Landscape 2:31 Raise Venture Capital - Growth 4:14 Raise Venture Capital - What drives that growth? - Follow Caya: https://twitter.com/cayahere https://instagram.com/caya_here Turn on notifications for the podcast & rate it a 5-star for new episodes.
