Pre-seed Round

A pre-seed round is an early funding phase for a startup when the company is just an idea or in the initial development stage. It involves raising small amounts of money, often from founders, friends, family, or angel investors, to develop a prototype, conduct market research, or build a team. This funding helps the startup move from concept to a more viable business plan. It’s considered high risk for investors, as the company has little operational history, but it's essential for setting the foundation for future funding rounds and growth.
