Startup funding stages range from pre-seed to IPO.
The pre-seed stage is the first startup funding stage where most funds come from bootstrapping, family, and friends.
In the seed stage, founders will need an MVP and a trustworthy team to attract potential investors.
For the Series A stage, the startup founders need to demonstrate some achievements by showing extraordinary metrics and traction.
Series B stage requires the startup founders to use the Series A fund for daily operations and business improvement.
The Series C stage is the fifth startup funding stage where investors may include private equity firms, investment banks, and other institutional investors.
There is no limit on the number of funding rounds a startup can undergo.
IPO represents the final stage of transitioning from a private company to a public company.
Startup founders need to consider if it is necessary to raise funds for their startups and whether they can work well with potential investors.
