Series C
Definition
A later-stage funding round for established companies that want to scale aggressively, acquire other businesses, or prepare for an exit.
Why it matters
By Series C, a business is usually expected to be a market leader, so the focus shifts to large-scale growth and future liquidity.
Example
A profitable wellness platform raises a £40m Series C to acquire a smaller competitor.
