Raising $100 million is easier than $1 million — a tragedy for early-stage companies

The recent trend in startup funding highlights a troubling reality: raising larger amounts, like $100 million, is becoming easier than securing smaller sums, such as $1 million. This disparity poses a significant challenge for early-stage companies, many of which struggle to survive the so-called 'valley of death' where funding is scarce. The alarming situation raises concerns about the future of innovation and entrepreneurship, as promising startups may not get the support they need to thrive.
