LATE GROWTH STAGE

Late Growth Stage Program

Late Growth Stage (After Series A/B)

Course Overview

The phase after the Series A & B is all about growth. You can call this Series C, D, etc. You can also add “expansion” to the stage.

New investors at this stage can include more VC firms, “growth” equity firms, private equity firms, or any other large Hedge or Sovereign Wealth funds. Late stage companies tend to proceed toward a public offering in order to achieve an exit for its early investors.

The company machine is generally humming and needs more fuel (i.e., financing) to go faster. The risk calculus is very different, even from Series A and B, as it’s mostly about expanding a set of activities that are ideally already working.

You’re in this stage if you are:

  • Completely or nearly staffed
  • Experiencing significant growth
  • Looking for expansion opportunities
  • Considering an exit (M&A or IPO)

  • CEO360 Certification
  • At the end of 12 months, CEOs completing the requirements will receive a certification and recognition
  • Program Goals
