However, fewer startups (%) are reaching the next
funding round stage (which should be expected)
Note: the average time between rounds is roughly 18 months. Therefore, it takes an average of nearly three years to move from Seed to Series B. For this reason, the data only includes cohorts from 2013 and earlier.

Recent years saw more European than ever startups, but a smaller proportion reaching the next funding round stage
This is likely due to a combination of increased competition and higher risk appetite by VCs
Not reaching series-A does not necessarily equal failure. Reasons may be that company became profitable
Especially beyond series-A/B companies often do not need additional funding
About 20-30% of seeded companies also do series-A round. Thereafter, follow-on rate is about half for each stage

Round sizes have come back down in 2016, which
indicates that valuations have probably as well
