Large rounds are almost always announced and many small ones never are, so the true typical round is probably a little smaller than shown, most of all at pre-seed and seed.

[Take the Fundability Test](https://millionrounds.com/fundability)[Or find investors](https://millionrounds.com/investor-database) ## Q&A How big is a typical Series A round worldwide? The median is $20M, from 828 Series A rounds announced worldwide in the last twelve months. Half of them raised between $12M and $35M; one in ten raised more than $78M. Which rounds are counted? Rounds announced in the last twelve months with a stated amount and stage, each read from a named article or filing. A page is only published where at least 30 rounds stand behind it. Are these figures biased? Towards larger rounds, yes. Big rounds are announced; many small ones never are. So the true typical round is probably a little smaller than the figure here, especially at pre-seed and seed. How often does it change? The figures are recounted from the record every night, as new rounds are read.
