Funding Announcement Email — Series B Close

A milestone email that feels institutional, not celebratory. A bold typographic hero states the number once, a clean three-stat band carries the growth story underneath, and a short thank-you closes it — confident enough for investors, calm enough for the customers who got you there.

Snapshot

• Goal: announce the close of a Series B round and signal momentum, without throwing a party in the inbox.
• Audience & tone: customers, investors, and partners. Restrained, confident, institutional — credibility over flash.
• Palette: page #eff6ff · container #ffffff · text #172554 / #475569 (muted) · accent blue #2563eb
• Font: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif
• Artwork: one free-form layout hero — oversized “$60M” numeral in white on a #2563eb band, with a “SERIES B” eyebrow and lead-investor line. Text-only artwork.

Build recipe

Each step is one block in the flat stack, top to bottom. [native] = a real email block. [layout] = a free-form layout embedded as a single image.

1. [layout] Hero — free-form composition: oversized “$60M” numeral in white #ffffff on a #2563eb band, eyebrow “SERIES B” in tracked uppercase white, subline “Led by Halcyon Ventures, with Northpeak and existing investors.” Text-only artwork — the working link is the native button in step 8.
2. [native] Lede — text. “We’ve closed $60 million in Series B funding to bring instant, borderless business banking to every team that needs it.” fontSize: 18, fontWeight: 400, color #172554, left, generous top padding.
3. [native] Stats heading — text. “By the numbers”. fontSize: 22, fontWeight: 700, color #172554, center.
4. [native] Stat 1 — two stacked text blocks then a divider:
   • Number text. “$60M raised”. fontSize: 32, fontWeight: 700, color #2563eb, center.
   • Label text. “to accelerate product and expand into Latin America.” fontSize: 13, color #475569, center, tight top padding.
   • Divider — hairline #dbeafe, generous vertical padding.
5. [native] Stat 2 — same pattern:
   • Number text. “3×”. fontSize: 32, fontWeight: 700, color #2563eb, center.
   • Label text. “year-over-year revenue growth.” fontSize: 13, color #475569, center.
   • Divider — hairline #dbeafe, generous vertical padding.
6. [native] Stat 3 — same pattern (no divider after the last):
   • Number text. “120,000”. fontSize: 32, fontWeight: 700, color #2563eb, center.
   • Label text. “businesses now banking with Cederal.” fontSize: 13, color #475569, center.
7. [native] Thank-you — text. “To every customer who moved payroll, paid vendors, or reconciled the books with us this year — this round exists because you did. Thank you.” fontSize: 15, italic, color #172554, left, comfortable line height.
8. [native] CTA button — button. Label “Read the announcement”, blue #2563eb fill, white text, rounded corners, center.
9. [native] Footer — text block. “Cederal · 211 Main St, Floor 12, San Francisco, CA · [email protected] · LinkedIn / X / GitHub”. fontSize: 12, color #475569, center. Recolored to the palette — links in accent #2563eb.

Make it yours

1. Swap the three stats for your real growth numbers — one headline figure and two supporting.
2. Replace the lead-investor line and thank-you copy with your actual investors and customer call-out.
3. Recolor the blue band to your brand — keep one accent across the hero, stat numbers, and button.
