The Meteoric Acceleration in Series A Valuations
- trhway 12y agothanks to QE and low interest rates there is a lot of money slushing around looking (and having pretty tough time finding and competing for) where to invest. I.e. it is a sellers(founders) market out there.

- coenhyde 12y agoI think the larger Series A rounds are just a natural by-product of companies being further along before they reach Series A. What was Series B is now Series A.
- ignostic 12y agoI think that's well-stated by the author. > Nevertheless, I’ll be paying attention to the Series A market, because if the trend continues, and the Series A replaces the B, we can finally state with confidence that the Series Seed is new Series A, which would imply a very substantial change in industry dynamics. I'm just glad it doesn't make big claims about some bubble based on the data in the graphs. There may be a bubble, but we have to at least look at assets and earnings vs. series A for that to be remotely meaningful.
