Seed Round
A seed round is the initial stage of funding for a startup, where entrepreneurs raise money to develop their idea, build a prototype, or validate their business concept. This funding often comes from early investors such as angel investors, friends, family, or seed venture capital firms. It helps the company move from an idea or concept toward early development and testing. The seed round is crucial for establishing the foundation of the business, and in exchange, investors typically receive equity or a small ownership stake. It’s considered the first formal step in a startup’s funding journey.
