Globally, we close to 35,000 rounds of funding, 20,000 of which were Angel or Seed rounds.

While the number of angel rounds decreased with the pandemic, the number of VC rounds grew - but more importantly, the size of the rounds skyrocketed.
More than $600B were raised in 2021, twice as much as companies raised in 2020.

But, this is a select club. In the US alone, over 5 million new business registrations happened in 2021, but less than 4,500 early-stage companies raised any venture capital. That is a mere 0.08%

SO MANY companies are not venturing backable (one of the reasons we decided to pivot our product into something that any startup, not just venture-backable companies would find useful).

So again, with that context here are some stats that show the reality of SaaS companies- courtesy of our friends at ChartMogul.
