According to a review by Venture Intelligence in 2022, only 29% of seed-funded startups raise Series A capital. I have a speciality in coaching Seed to Series A Founders. That means that by Venture Intelligence's estimates, the odds are 71% of my clients's businesses may fail to get to the next round of funding.
