In this Chart of this Week, we looked at three key metrics for early and growth stage Reg CF and Reg A equity crowdfunding rounds in the last four years.
- Company valuations increased from 2020 to 2022 and only slightly declined this year. They seem to tie in with the VC market trend, which also sees startup valuations stagnating or slightly decreasing.
- The median early-stage startup round size is at its lowest since 2020, with half of the companies only raising $106,000 or less.
- While the median growth stage startup round size plateaued between 2022 and 2023 at $363,000, the average round size decreased sharply. This indicates a diminution in outlier rounds, raising extravagant amounts of money.
- On average, the number of investors in every startup round tends to increase since 2021 in both early and growth stage startup rounds.
