Series A and later are really helpful in growing quickly. You should raise a series A when it will give you a lot of growth per dilution -- that is, when you have a clear plan for how the money will help you grow quickly, and some evidence that your plan will actually work.
- erikpukinskis 8y agoThe article says explicitly that the answer to when you should is when you can.
- tylermenezes 8y agoThat was overly simplifying and I don't believe for a second Aaron literally believes you should raise any money you can simply because it's available. The downsides of raising money you don't need are something tons of founders, YC partners, and VCs have all discussed before.
