Why Navigate?

A Unique Thesis & Market Phenomenon
Most Startups Never Make It Past Series A
Each Year, Hundreds of New, Promising Startups Look for Growth Capital
Less than 25% Make it to the Growth Round
Lack of Product Market Fit and Team Issues are Common
Lack of Access to Growth Capital is the Most Common Issue
  • Size and expectations for Growth Rounds have risen dramatically
  • Growth Round is the hardest to raise as the goal post has moved
  • It takes longer to achieve the required metrics to raise a Growth Round
  • Many CEOs lack the experience, time, resources or relationships to successfully raise a Growth Round
The end result is many companies with Good Teams, Product Market Fit, and Strong Unit Economics find they need more Time & Capital to be able to raise a Growth Round.
