I hear this referred to as B-C rounds, and often touted as growth stage money, these companies often have hit an elbow in revenue or user growth rates. Benchmark Capital was involved in the most late stage investments, followed by a series of other players. I’ve found that I most often interact with investors in this category, as they’re tracking a crowded market and seek analyst input in due diligence meetings. Often, these rounds involved multiple investors.

At this stage, most companies are showing 200-400% growth rates, and it’s often a sure bet for investors to see a return.
These investors often have ties to bankers, brokers, and can help see a material event though, due to experience. Bay Partners and Institutional Ventures, which are not common in earlier rounds, show being involved in two rounds.
