Hi, Agen. The first half of 2024 saw the median round size for funding at seed through Series C pick up for the first time since early 2023, Crunchbase data shows. While most pronounced for seed and Series A, we take a look at — and chart annual comparisons of — seed through Series C median round sizes. Plus, last week’s funding rounds stayed a little on the low side, but investors still did spread it around to different sectors. And The Crunchbase Tech Layoffs Tracker includes total shutdown plans for a furniture reseller, and a 15% staff reduction for an extreme action video photographer. For a decade, U.S. seed and early-stage median round sizes saw consistent increases — until 2023 when the venture market slowed. Fast-track to the first half of this year and that trend seems to have reversed again as the median round size for funding at seed through Series C has picked up.

In fact, you didn’t even need to raise $50 million to make the list last week. Investors certainly put their money everywhere, from biotech to productivity tools, but they didn’t shell out a lot.

And investment continues to flow, with Silicon Valley-based Fortera, closing this week on the year’s biggest round.
