Venture capitalists are continuing to focus on early-stage funding rounds, with a combined total of $622M USD raised in Q4 for pre-seed and seed rounds. On the other hand, later-stage rounds like Series A, B, C, and D tend to have fewer successful projects and bigger total capital raised. However, as the crypto market expands and higher-quality projects emerge, we may see a shift towards more funding in post-seed rounds.
