, 17:04, 11 November 2015→Venture Capital Investment by Stage
#'''Late Stage''': "Product or service is widely available. Company is generating on-going revenue; probably positive cash flow. More likely to be, but not necessarily, profitable. May include spin-offs of operating divisions of existing private companies and established private companies."
Historically, the majority of Venture Capital investment, in terms of both number deals and total dollar amount, occurs once a company reaches its early stage. Seed stage companies receive minimal investment simply because they are not often developed enough to be of legitimate promise to investors. Recent trends have shifted to the majority of deals being made during the early stages, though larger deals are found with firms in the expansion or late stages.
In Quarter 3 of 2015, Seed Stage ventures received 1% of total venture capital investment in dollars, early stage ventures brought in 33%, expansion stage firms 39%, and late stage received 27% of capital investment.
