Making The Grade

Less than 1 in 100 Startups manage to achieve funding beyond Series D or an exit.

Investors typically expect 8 out of 10 of the businesses they invest in to fail.

It’s time to make building a business less depressing and scale more wisely.

Tune into Making The Grade to hear first-hand experiences of venture-backed software companies in their journeys from Seed to Series B funding.

Every week, we’ll be joined by Founders, Investors and senior Go-To-Market Leaders to explore the factors driving the decline in graduation rates, misaligned go-to-market operations and ineffective sales and marketing strategies.

All while making you leave every episode with actionable insights and expert advice to help you navigate these common Startup hurdles and thrive in a competitive market, showing that it can be done differently.

Stats: Statistics are produced by Simplecast to help Making The Grade to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Simplecast is IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.

Dynamic content insertion: Simplecast may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. Making The Grade may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.

Making The Grade is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
