Taggart Transcontinental Corp had a great start, raising an "A" round of $1.5 million through sale of Series A Preferred Shares at a pre-money valuation of $2.5 million from a top-tier Venture Capital firm.The shares had an original conversion ratio of 1:1.

Unfortunately, deploying the capital did not go as well as projected, and the company did not make their milestone of completing a prototype of their high speed train before they ran out of cash.Now they have to raise a new round at a much lower valuation, just so they can get to their milestone, and hopefully get back on track.
