What this teaches
Data analysis showing Series B is statistically the hardest round: seed enthusiasm has faded, growth-stage proof isn't in yet, and the company is valued on early scaling evidence alone.
Why it matters
Prepares founders for the 'valley' round where narrative alone stops working and the machine has to show.
Key lessons
- Series B is priced on early repeatability, the hardest thing to prove
- Plan seed and A raises so the B story has time to materialize
