Ten Levers for Startup Growth After Series A

Completing a successful Series A round is one of the great milestones in the life of a startup. This is often when founders start to truly believe that they can make it. Of course, the biggest questions are what startups do after raising their Series A and how do they use the money they raised. 

To answer these questions, I have come up with 10 levers for startups to pull once they’ve reached their Series A. These 10 levers are how startups can accelerate their growth. After all, founders will want to show their investors and supporters that they are right to believe in them. The best way to do that is by growing and putting the Series A funding to good use.

The 10 levers are designed to cover all areas of a startup. Keep in mind that this is when the startup begins to grow, and things can get chaotic. Therefore, some of these levers are related to the go-to-market, some are product-related, some involve talent capacity, and some involve your startup’s runway stretch.

By focusing on all 10 levers, you will position your startup for growth while keeping different departments of the business connected. Ultimately, I will go into greater detail about each individual lever. For now, watch this video for an introduction to each of the 10 levers. As always, feel free to reach out with any questions.
