Success Rate by Stage of Funding

The success rate of startups declines as one moves from seed to Series A and so forth.

Success is defined as a successful exit for the investors through an acquisition of the company.

Here’s the rate of success of startups at each stage of funding.

Seed — 9%

Series A– 12%

Series B — 14%

Series C — 15%

Series D — 16%

Many startups stop raising funding and turn into a steady state business before reaching an acquisition exit.

Here’s the rate at which companies go on to raise at the next stage of funding:

Series A — 40%

Series B — 25%

Series C — 15%

Series D — 5%

This shows the percent of startups still raising funding after each round.
