Growth and Exit
Series C Funding,
Merger, Acquisition, IPO
Businesses that make it to Series C funding are already quite successful. These companies look for additional funding to help them develop new products, expand into new markets, acquire other companies or go public.
Series C investors inject capital into the meat of successful businesses, with expectation of receiving more than double that amount back. Series C funding is focused on scaling the company, growing as quickly and as successfully as possible.
Sometimes the best possible way to scale a company is to acquire another company. Series C funding could be used to buy another company.
As the operation gets less risky, more investors come to play. Our Series C investor resources include hedge funds, investment banks, private equity firms, and large secondary market. These investors come to the table expecting to invest significant sums of money into companies that are already thriving as a means of helping to secure their own position as business leaders.
Most commonly, a company will end its external equity funding with Series C. However, some companies can go on to Series D and even Series E rounds of funding as well. For the most part, though, companies gaining up to hundreds of millions of dollars in funding through Series C rounds are prepared to continue to develop on a global scale. Many of these companies utilize Series C funding to help boost their valuation in anticipation of an IPO.
At this point, companies enjoy valuations in the area of $115 million most often, although some companies going through Series C funding may have valuations much higher. These valuations are also founded increasingly on hard data rather than on expectations for future success. Companies engaging in Series C funding should have established, strong customer bases, revenue streams, and proven histories of growth.
Companies that do continue with Series D funding tend to either do so because they are in search of a final push before an IPO or, alternatively, because they have not yet been able to achieve the goals they set out to accomplish during Series C funding.
We prepare companies for the rigors of private equity investment, targeted acquisitions or their final push before an IPO.
