Series B

The round after Series A, raised to scale a business that already works: expand the team, enter new markets, and pour fuel on channels that pay back.

Why it matters

By Series B the story is about efficient growth, not proving the idea. Investors underwrite unit economics and a clear path to a much bigger company, so metrics matter more than narrative.

For example

With the model working, the company raises a 150 crore Series B to expand into three new cities and double the sales team.
