Tech Seed and Series A Medians and Averages Show Little Change

Despite some notable early-stage Juiced and Jumbo Series A round investments in tech firms such as GitHub and Clinkle, the average and median Seed and Series A transactions are showing little change.

Juiced Series A deals typically range between $8M and $15M.  Companies raising this type of capital typically have substantial market traction and boast teams of 20+ professionals.  These deals resemble traditional Series B investments.

Jumbo Series A deals typically range between $15M and $60M.  Companies raising this type of capital typically have been bootstrapped for quite some time, boasting revenues of $10M+ and looking for institutional capital to grow fast with goal of reaching a not too long term IPO.
