Series D

Series D refers to a company's late-stage funding round where it seeks additional investment to expand, develop new products, or prepare for an IPO or acquisition. Investors in Series D often include venture capital firms, private equity, or strategic partners. This stage indicates the company is more established, with a proven track record, and is looking for substantial capital to accelerate growth or reach specific milestones. Series D funding typically offers investors increased confidence in the company's stability and potential, and often involves negotiations around valuation and terms reflective of its maturity.
