💻 Here’s a breakdown of the typical equity stakes startups are offering to investors:

💡Seed Stage: Startups are selling approximately 20.7% of equity in primary seed rounds and about 13.2% in bridge rounds in 2024. There’s a trend of startups opting for multiple seed rounds as the path to Series A funding grows more challenging.

🚀Series A: Investors typically receive around 20% equity in primary rounds and 10% in bridge rounds.

🌱Series B: Equity sold in primary rounds averages around 15.9%, while bridge rounds typically involve 8.1% equity.

💼Series C: In primary rounds, startups are selling about 12.9% equity, with bridge rounds averaging 4.8%.

This data reflects the median dilution experienced by early-stage VC-backed companies since early 2023, focusing on US-based startups.
