Series A
A Series A is a company's first major priced venture round after the seed stage, raised once it has early traction, to scale the product, team, and go-to-market.
By the time a company raises a Series A, it has usually moved past finding product-market fit and is looking to scale: growing the team, investing in sales and marketing, and turning early traction into repeatable growth. The Series A is typically the first round led by an institutional venture fund that takes a board seat.
Series A rounds are larger than seed rounds and come with more diligence, clearer metrics expectations, and a formal term sheet. The round is named for the class of preferred stock issued to investors (Series A preferred).
A Series A is a strong intent signal for sales and partnerships teams: the company now has real budget, is hiring across functions, and is actively building out its stack.
Series A rounds appear in the funding-events feed with round set to 'series_a', the amount, the lead and participating investors, the date, and the sources that reported it, available from GET /v1/funding-events.
