down round
C2CEFR level

TechnicalRegister
A financing round in which a company raises capital at a lower valuation than in its previous round.
Rather than accept a punishing down round, the board chose to cut costs and extend the runway.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
