Typically a startup receives investment in exchange for equity in the company. Startup funding is organized into different rounds according to the startup’s stage of development. Each investment stage usually only gives the startup enough capital to get to the next stage. This works for investors, because they can put in a smaller amount of money and wait to see whether their investment leads to the growth they expected before investing again. It’s a way to limit the investor’s risk. For startups, raising in rounds means they can put the investment amount towards achieving specific goals and then raise again at a higher valuation. - What are the different types of funding round? Broadly speaking, the distinct funding rounds in the life of a startup are **Pre-seed or Bootstrap** This is the very first stage of funding and usually the investors are the founders themselves, or friends and family of the founders. The pre-seed funding gives the startup just enough to get basic operations off the ground. **Seed** This is the first funding stage in which the startup seeks a formal investment from an external investor, such as an angel investor or a venture capital fund that specializes in early-stage startups. The money raised during a seed round is often used to conduct market research, make key hires, build a minimum viable product (MVP) and test the product to prove product market fit. **Series A** Series A funding comes in when a startup can show traction in the market and that it is ready to scale. Companies typically use Series A funding to grow the team and continue developing the product and business. **Series B, C and beyond** If the company needs to raise funding to continue to grow, the next rounds are called Series B, C, D and so on. - How long does a funding round take? How long a funding round takes depends on many factors, including the complexity of the deal terms and personalities of the investors and founders involved. From negotiating the Term Sheet to completing due diligence, gathering signatures and waiting for funds, the average funding round can take one to two months.
