Startup Funding Espresso Investors by Stage of Funding
Investors by Stage of Funding Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Each stage of funding brings a different set of investors. Here\u2019s a list of investors to pursue by stage. Pre-Seed -- Founders fund their initial startup research and market development. It\u2019s too soon to take outside funding for what is not yet a formed business plan.\xa0 Seed -- Family and friends and closely known angel investors. Outside funding can begin once the market is understood and the customer is identified.\xa0 Seed+ -- Angel investors and early stage venture capital investors. There\u2019s often another round of funding at the previous valuation to complete the product.\xa0 Series A -- Venture capital and late stage angel investors. Institutional capital comes into play at this stage. Series B -- Later stage venture capital and growth equity investors. Later stage venture capital carries the startup into scaling. Series C -- Mezzanine debt and growth equity investors. Debt investors as well as growth equity investors come into play. IPO -- Pre-IPO investors fund the IPO. This\xa0 usually starts two years in advance of going public. Pursue these metrics at each stage of funding. \xa0 Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.
