Strictly speaking, a "plethora" should be an excessive amount of something.

It still might work in this context though, if you think the company has raised too much capital...

Well technically, a plethora is a 'large or excessive amount of something', so I think in this case it works, though it feels a little sesquipedalian.

The entry you linked to agrees with my definition:

"Strictly, a plethora is not just an abundance of something, it is an excessive amount."
