Capital raising glossary
Seed
The round that funds early product and traction.
Definition
Seed funding helps a startup turn early signal into repeatable traction. The capital typically extends runway to find product-market fit, grow the team, and prove the model before a Series A. Seed rounds are larger than pre-seed and often involve a lead investor who sets terms.
