\nAre rising seed-stage valuations a poisoned gift for startups?<\/br>
\n2023-05-17 21:44:20<\/br><\/p>\n

\n

Compared to a year<\/span> ago, startup valuations have dipped across the board, no matter if you\u2019re a startup raising a seed round or a Series E.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s good news if you\u2019re a growth-stage startup: Valuations for startups raising Series A, B and C rounds across the world ticked higher in Q1 2023 from Q4 2022, according to data from CB Insights<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That said, it\u2019s not looking good for early- and late-stage deals: valuations for angel, seed, Series D rounds and later-stage rounds are trending downwards globally.<\/p>\n

\n

The Exchange explores startups, markets and money. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Read it every morning on TechCrunch+<\/a> or get The Exchange newsletter<\/a> every Saturday.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

In the United States, however, PitchBook data<\/a> paints a different picture, one that confounds and fascinates at the same time: Seed-stage valuations have climbed higher, while Series A, B, C and later-stage deals are worth less now.<\/p>\n

It appears startup trends in the U.S. are diverging from the rest of the world: what\u2019s going up in the U.S. is going downwards elsewhere, and vice versa.<\/p>\n

This dissonance is interesting, but today we\u2019re going to explore a question that\u2019s even more intriguing. If we continue to see valuations rising for startups raising seed rounds while later-stage prices dip, how long will it be until the journey from seed to Series A becomes one that sees companies losing value?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
