Sequoia Capital stands as one of the most successful Venture Capital firms in history, having made pivotal investments in groundbreaking startups like Airbnb, PayPal, and YouTube. Below is Sequoia Capital's recommended blueprint for founders aiming to secure capital.

What aspects of this blueprint resonate most with your own experiences in pitching to investors?

💻 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.
