Webinar Series: FUD? Has ‘Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt’ closed down Series A funding?

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.
