We are in an era dominated by massive rounds in venture backed companies. When one year old companies can raise $100M because their one product went viral, it seems that the entire industry may be back to celebrating raising money for the sake of raising money. At the Momentum Index, we thought it appropriate to celebrate companies who are thriving on small amounts of money. All these companies have raised less than $5M (per CrunchBase) but are growing quickly in terms of users and customers.
Highlights
  • Capital Efficiency = Growth / Capital Raised
  • 25 companies building value without raising significant amounts of capital
  • All companies ranked are venture-backed but have raised less than $5M per CrunchBase
