Course overview
Arriving at the Series B funding stage represents a pivotal moment in a startup’s lifecycle. By this point companies have demonstrated product–market fit, generated revenue traction and established operational systems.
However, scaling effectively requires additional capital, strengthened leadership, refined processes and clear strategic focus. Series B investors expect companies to demonstrate operational maturity, sustainable revenue growth and the capacity to manage a larger organisation.
This course provides a framework for founders, executives and senior managers preparing for Series B financing.
Participants will explore strategies for optimising operations, scaling teams and leadership, refining products for broader markets, building predictable revenue streams and navigating the complex expectations of growth-stage investors.
It also covers valuation, deal structuring, governance and post-investment growth strategies to ensure capital is deployed effectively and strategically.
This course is part of a six-course series which covers the full lifecycle of startup funding. Together, the series provides a structured, end-to-end view of how ventures raise capital, from pre-seed and seed through Series A, Series B, Series C growth-stage funding and ultimately to exit.
Each course builds on the last, helping founders, operators and aspiring investors understand not only how funding rounds work in isolation, but how decisions made at each stage shape long-term outcomes.
All courses in this series are designed to provide participants with a general overview of the topics covered. They are not designed as a comprehensive guide appropriate for all situations and circumstances. Participants should take independent legal, financial and business consultancy advice before making any decisions or taking any action in any business-related activities.
