New Investment Report: Is All Capital the Same Shade of Green?

Too Long; Didn't Read

A new study released today challenges the misperception that taking on Out-of-State capital drives more attractive valuations and better business outcomes for founders. The study looked at eight factors: (1) initial check size; (2) initial valuation; (3) dilution; (4) impact on operating pace; (5) impact of follow-on capital raises; (7) long-term value creation; (8) Impact on expected equity value. The findings support our theory that early operational support as a business scales allows the business to reach milestones that warrant additional investment.
