this. The only other material one commonly sees are academic-style papers and analyis that may be interesting in their own realm but seem to miss the point about how venture capital actually functions in the real world. Technical academic papers also suffer from being (by
Knowledge (XXG) standards) primary sources that cannot generate useful article content without some

for this and other articles about venture capital transactions. Most that I could find are self-interested pieces by company advisers, lawyers, accountants, book publishers, etc., trying to hawk their services. They border on spam links and as such they are not suitable sources for an article like

Hi. Thanks for responding. With such an old plea for help on verifiability, the article appeared abandoned so that was my rationale for folding it into an article with more eyes on it. What you say is reasonable, though, so if you think this article can stand alone, then my suggestion would be to

for that matter. Series A rounds are a distinct encyclopedic subject (perhaps $ 10-20 billion per year of investment in the US and a necessary feature of the entire tech economy), whereas private equity is a much broader topic that encompasses many different things. This article is getting 5,000+

If anyone cares to help, it would be great if you could add some sources to back up, change, or expand this article with in-line citations. If you don't have the time or patience, at least add a "references" or an "external links" section and I'll come back some day to integrate these into the

Sorry, this was one of my first articles before I had the hang of things. If necessary I'll clean it up over the next several weeks. The problem isn't that there are too few sources for verifiability, but rather there are too many to sort through (for example,

before any additional material is added. If this article is receiving as many views as you claim, then verifiability is tantamount. I agree, there are SO many ways to slice venture funding, investing, small and large corporate finance, etc. So I predict

Series A rounds are now well embedded as part of the business landscape and requires a separate article from
Private Equity. The issue of citations and verifiability is separate from the discussion of merging the article.

views per month, which is probably in the top few percent of all
Knowledge (XXG) articles, so there's clearly some reader interest in the subject as opposed to finance overall. This kind of merge would be like merging the
