overcapitalizing
Too much funding
Overcapitalizing means investing more money in a business or asset than can be justified by its earning potential or market value.
A company that overcapitalizes has raised more capital than it can productively use: The startup overcapitalized early and struggled to generate returns for investors.
In writing, overcapitalizing means using capital letters excessively or incorrectly: New employees often overcapitalize job titles in emails.
