Would anyone from ZeroCater care to comment on whether there were additional difficulties in raising money due to the recent stock market crash?

Anytime you read about a funding announcement, you can be certain the round closed anywhere from 1 month to 3 months beforehand, and that the funds are now safely deposited.

Consequently, we'll see ramifications later this winter if rounds were negatively impacted.

I would guess that they almost certainly had all of their commits before the past week and have just announced them now. Too early to see the effects of the crash on VC's in funding announcements imo

This is correct. We closed the round more than a month ago.
