Don't remind me again today

The funding landscape is shifting - and patience is becoming the new norm.



Seed to Series A? That journey stretched from 1.6 years back in 2019 to 2.2 years now in 2025. Not a small bump.

Here's what caught my eye: nearly 40% of startups closing their Series A this year actually spent over 3 years grinding since their seed round. Three. Years.

What does this mean? Capital's getting pickier. Investors want proof, not promises. Companies are taking longer to hit those growth milestones that unlock the next check.

For Web3 builders and crypto founders - this isn't just a VC story. It's your story. Runway planning matters more than ever.
