The Series A funding landscape is changing. What does it mean for ambitious SaaS founders?
Raising a Series A is becoming more challenging. As investors navigate an increasingly AI-first, SaaS-second market, expectations around growth, differentiation, capital efficiency and investment readiness are evolving.
So, has Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) effectively closed the door on Series A funding for SaaS businesses — or is capital still available for the right companies?
Join ScaleUp Group Executive Chairman, John O’Connell, for a three-part webinar series bringing together leading investors from across the UK venture capital and growth investment landscape.
Starting on 7 October, followed by sessions on 4 November and 2 December, each webinar features a different panel of leading investors sharing their perspectives on the evolving Series A landscape.
Join one session or join them all.
What will we explore?
- What is really happening in the Series A market?
- What are investors looking for in today’s market?
- How has the rise of AI changed the investment landscape for SaaS businesses?
- What separates the companies still securing funding from those struggling to raise?
- Are traditional SaaS investment metrics still relevant?
- What should founders be doing now to maximise their chances of raising?
Whether you are preparing for a Series A, considering your funding options, or trying to understand where the market is heading, these sessions will give you direct insight into what investors are thinking — and what it takes to stand out in today’s market.
