Series A

Definition

The first major institutional funding round, where venture capitalists invest millions based on actual metrics instead of just vibes, which eliminates approximately 90% of startups. It's called Series A because it's the first of potentially many rounds, like academic grades but for companies.

Example Usage

"After our Series A, we went from seven employees in a garage to fifty employees in a WeWork, which is basically the same thing but with a kombucha tap."
