Funding, fast and slow: time varying effects, industry heterogeneity, and drivers of capital raising speed

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This study examines how fundraising speed relates to startup performance. Using longitudinal data on US and UK ventures founded between 2007 and 2017, we estimate cause-specific Cox models with competing risks at the Seed and Series A stages. We assess whether time-to funding remains a significant predictor of subsequent funding, acquisition, IPO, or closure, controlling for founder, venture, round and investor characteristics. Faster-funded ventures exhibit higher hazards of both upward transitions and failure, while slower ventures follow more stable trajectories. These patterns are stronger in the US than in the UK, suggesting structural differences in venture financing dynamics.
