Early stage financing

1- Venture Capital

There are 3 sub-categories in early stage financing. These are seed financing, startup financing, and first
stage financing. Seed financing is a small sum given to the entrepreneur to serve the purpose of
qualifying for a startup loan. Startup financing is when the companies receive funds to complete the
development of its services and products. When companies need capital to begin the business activities
in full swing, they need first stage financing.
