Startups And Seed Funding: Where To Start?
Securing funding is crucial for start-ups. Initial funding, or pre-seed funding, often comes from founders, family, friends, or crowdfunding and focuses on the founders' abilities. Seed funding helps launch a basic product and attracts further investment. Series A funding from venture capitalists helps confirm the start-up's potential. Series B funding, averaging £33.9 million, supports larger campaigns and key hires. Series C funding expands the business into new markets, while Series D and E funding, often involving private equity and hedge funds, address specific goals or issues before a public offering. Other funding options include loans, government grants, and angel investors. Founders must present a clear vision and understand economic conditions to succeed.
