The funding stage filter allows users to narrow search results by a particular funding round. Finder search now allows you to specify a range of funding stages of a company for your desired results. By using the slider shown below, users have the ability to refine their search results to non-sponsored back companies by toggling the slider to "None" (No funding).

Please see the funding values below:
Funding Stage Values
None = No Funding

Early Stage = Series A, Series B
Late Stage = Series C - Series Z
Other = Corporate, Corporate Venture Capital, Note, Loan, Debt Financing, Post IPO Debt, Post IPO Equity, any other alternative funding such as PPP Loans
Example:
I want to find companies that have no prior sponsor backed funding and would be good targets to introduce our PE best practices and services to. Toggle the "Funding Stage" pre-filter all the way to the left to "None". This will exclude from my results companies considered to have one or more rounds of sponsor backed funding.
