Startup fundraising
Fundraising is the process of raising capital from investors. If you know the stages and the process, you go into conversations with more confidence and negotiate from a stronger position.
The funding rounds
Startups usually raise money in rounds: from the early pre-seed and seed stages through Series A to later rounds. With each round, the funding requirement, the valuation and investors' expectations rise.
How a round works
A round typically runs from preparation (pitch deck, financial plan, valuation) through approaching investors and holding talks to the term sheet, due diligence and closing, including the capital increase. Good preparation shortens the process considerably.
