| Hi, Agen. Maybe it’s AI that’s reviving Silicon Valley investors’ enthusiasm for writing checks again, but last month saw a familiar name top our list of most active U.S. startup investors. Speaking of which, if you’re a startup founder ready to raise capital for your business, how do you decide what kind of investor would be the best fit? Andreessen Horowitz is back … kind of. In September, the Silicon Valley venture firm posted its biggest investment month since March, taking part in 14 funding deals for U.S. based startups. Still, things aren’t as busy as they used to be. Your startup is gaining momentum and you’re ready to raise capital to scale. Great, but from whom? Not all capital is created equal and choosing the right investment partner could be critical to your next phase of growth, writes Amit Chaturvedy, managing partner and global head of SE Ventures. He offers some questions you can ask yourself before meeting with investors. Eight companies joined The Crunchbase Unicorn Board in September, adding more than $15 billion in value, while two long-in-the-tooth unicorns finally galloped off onto the public markets. Related Crunchbase unicorn queries: • Unicorns Headquartered In The US • Unicorns Based In Asia • European Private Unicorns Last week saw a lull in big-figure funding deals, with only one U.S.-based startup raising more than $100 million (though it was over by quite a lot!). Did investors take a fall holiday? Is the big-round frenzy over? Let’s take a look. |
