\nStaged funding<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Although traditionally most rounds have gone to seed capital companies, in recent years several startups have raised large rounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"In Spain, too, there are rounds<\/strong> in seed capital companies.\u00a0Dada Company<\/span><\/span><\/span>a company dedicated to the creation of audiovisual content for children, closed its first round of financing for \u20ac1000k on 4 February. The round was led by DARUAN Venture Capital SCR, private investment company of the entrepreneur David Ruiz de Andr\u00e9s and has several mentors and investors. investors<\/strong> de\u00a0Seedrocket\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span>such as Miguel Arias (IMASTE), Marcos Alves (eltenedor.es) or Diego Soro\" comments Diego Gutierrez, expert in alternative financing of the group.\u00a0Abra Invest.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"In Spain, well-known investors such as\u00a0Jesus Encinar<\/span><\/span>\u00a0While they believe that content tends to be worth zero, North American venture capitalists have increased their investment in content-generating startups, albeit those that are able to scale through mobility and social networks,\" compares Diego Gutierrez.<\/span><\/p>\n

Funding by size<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The size of the rounds<\/strong> has also been on the rise. Companies such as\u00a0Refinery29<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Vox Media<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0have been at the centre of these trends.<\/span>

\nVox Media, an online sports, technology and gaming magazine, received its fifth round of funding in December 2013 from Accel Partners and Comcast Ventures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exits<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
