Our annual report found out that there’s a significant jump in average total funding raised by start ups from last year’s $3.2m to this year’s $5.23m. Interestingly, some start ups have also tapped the crypto-space for funding through initial coin offering (ICOs). In fact, one of our featured start ups raised $10m in one funding round.
