FUNDRAISING STAGES OF A STARTUP

• Seed round or seed funding: As the name suggests, a company gets “seeded” with the initial funds to create the business idea and bring it to the market. At this stage, the business may not have any working prototype ready and it may be still working towards developing the product
• Series A: Once the company develops the product/service and that begins to gain traction, it approaches venture capitalists for the next round of funding, to help in its early stage of growth
• Series B: By this stage, the business will have established a working business model and garnered some credibility in the industry. Now it would need additional capital to grow further which would help it expand operations and reach more customers
• Series C: This round of funding takes place when the company has proved its worth in the industry and is looking to expand its customer base in new markets. At this stage the company may also be targeting acquisitions and innovating with other types of products. This may usually the last stage in a company’s growth cycle. After this stage the company will go for an Initial Public Offer (IPO)
