The Hidden Cost of Raising VC: Your Equity. Think raising a big round means you’ve made it? Check the fine print: Founder ownership drops fast as you climb the funding ladder. Median equity owned by founders after each round (2024–25 data from 3,524 startups): - Seed – 55.1% - Series A – 36.6% - Series B – 23.5% - Series C – 17.5% - Series D – 10.9% By Series D, 90% of founders own less than 27% of their company. And 10%? They’re under 5%. Takeaway? Capital accelerates, but dilution is real. Know what you're trading before you scale. VC money is not free, it's equity. Full report 👇🏼
