Traditionally Funded Search: Does anyone raise extension rounds any more?

by a searcher from Harvard University

1 month ago

I'm curious about the experiences of other traditionally funded searchers who successfully raised a second round of search capital. I've heard that some of the big success stories - Dustin Sellers (ProService), Jim Vesterman (Raptor Technologies) - had to extend. Are there any other examples, especially recent ones? Any existing research available about this?

Hi all, Tks Luke for the message but I believe we can successfully manage the acquisition within a single round, so I won't be able to assist on this topic.

Those are both great examples of why we should have done search about 15 years ago
