Series A fundraising windows for top-performing companies have compressed from over a year to as little as one day.

Startups now only need one great month to raise, whereas previously they needed three to four good months.

“You only need one great month to raise today. Whether you preede or north of 30, you used to need three to four good months to raise. Now you just raise on the one.”

Top-tier startups are planning their next fundraising round before the current round has even closed.

“We've seen situations in our multi-billion dollar names where the round goes down in December and the boards already talking about the March round.”

Any large company can move from initial discussion to signing a term sheet within one week when there is competitive pressure from another bidder.

“It turns out any big company can move in a week. Not to close, but to sign term sheet.”

Some top-performing companies complete their entire Series A fundraising window in a single day.

“In the case of Max and Lora that's what they do in a day.”
