Funding Stages
Understand Every Startup Funding Round
Raising capital isn’t just about asking for money — it’s about knowing when to raise, why it matters, and what it signals to investors. From Pre-Seed rounds that spark your first build to the growth capital of Series B or the exit paths of IPO and M&A, each round carries its own expectations, risks, and opportunities. This page is your founder-first guide to navigating every step of the capital journey. Whether you're raising your first Seed round, considering a Bridge to Series A, or preparing for a secondary sale, this framework helps you understand what each round means, who invests, how terms evolve, and how to avoid the mistakes that stall great companies. By mastering the structure and strategy behind each round, you can raise with clarity, confidence, and control.
