What It Takes to Raise a Series A Right Now
Raising a Series A in 2026 is very different than it was two years ago.
In this candid virtual fireside chat with NEA breaks down today’s Series A market. There will be no "it depends".
Instead, we’ll cover what founders actually want to know:
Are VCs still investing in SaaS?
What ARR do you really need?
Which metrics matter most right now?
How long is it actually taking to close a round?
What bar are investors holding founders to in diligence?
Expect a high-signal conversation grounded in market realities and practical takeaways.
