Having completed this Series A course, founders now have an understanding of what investors are looking for at this stage, how to prepare for Series A funding and what is needed to be successful.

The next stage in the venture journey is Series B funding, where the focus shifts from early scaling to accelerating expansion and solidifying market leadership.

The Series B course will guide founders through the strategic, operational and financial considerations which underpin this stage. Topics include:

• Optimising operational infrastructure

• Scaling teams and leadership

• Refining product–market fit at scale

• Building predictable revenue streams

• Advanced fundraising strategies

• Investor alignment and governance

• Valuation and deal structuring considerations

These courses are 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.
