(vc)How do you differentiating funding rounds?

Hi. Could you teach me the way or standards for differentiating funding rounds?

While I am reviewing the investments and potential deals, I have a hard time differentiating funding rounds. I know the concepts, but when I see the reports of the same company but from other vc’s, the same funding round has different series.

Nobody in my firm cares or knows why since it is a small local pe shop. I really hope you guys could share some thoughts and ideas. Thank you.

For example, we are investing $1mm to company A with other VCs(total $5mm). Pre-value of the company A is $15mm. The company A got series A investment already, so I thought this round would be series B.

Since 5 different VCs are investing, I got a chance to see 4 different reports about the company A. 2 VCs considered this funding round as series a, the others considered it as series b.
