How often do you estimate that to be the case? 60% of the time? 80%?
When a startup is raising a new round, unless they're default alive (or in the small number like Boom that inherently need multiple rounds to ship), I assume the real reason is not the amazing opportunity they've just discovered, but that they're running out of money.

Just 3% of Seed-funded Startups make it to either the A round or to an exit, so really it's easy to "think badly" about any Startup and be 97% right, of course, the real problem is that VCs are so bad at judging what is worthy of Seed funding.

Do you think too many startups wait too long before they look to raise ?
-
Sometimes, but the real problem is that they take too long to become profitable.

If a startup stops mid-fundraise would you assume it is because they've discovered they don't need to raise, or do you also assume they are failing? Seems like a lose/lose either way.

If they've discovered they don't need to raise it's probably because they've started or about to start turning a profit.. That isn't a lose is it?

Do you see startups under raising in that first round, then having to come back for more?

What if the firm is very successful but there is so much investor enthusiasm for them that they can raise a lot of money and do even more?

Surely there are many whose ability to scale simply correlates with access to capital.
