Also called: Series B round
In one line
A growth-stage round raised to scale a company that has proven its model after Series A.
In plain English
Series B funds expansion — more hiring, markets, product. Valuations and share prices usually step up, and employees joining here face less dilution ahead but higher strike prices.
