    6 STAGES IN

    VENTURE

    @career.edge
    CAREER EDGE 2/9

    PRE-SEED STAGE
    This is when you're testing

    whether or not
    your idea is worth taking to market. VCs are
    unlikely to provide funding in exchange for
    equity, so you'll need to rely on your
    resources and contacts.

    CAREER EDGE 3/9

    SEED STAGE

    The goal is to raise enough capital now to show


    you have the capacity to grow and scale. You'll
    need a pitch deck to convince VCs that your
    idea is worth investing in. Start small and focus
    on specific activities such as market research
    and business plan development.

    SERIES-A

    STAGE
    The stage of a company's development where
    you are fine-tuning the product and building
    a customer base, increasing marketing and
    advertising, and demonstrating consistent
    revenue flow, all of which are critical. At this
    point, your company should have finished its
    business plan and created a pitch deck.

    SERIES-B STAGE
    Series B funding is the next stage in a business's
    development. This is the stage where VC firms fund
    the actual manufacturing, marketing, and sales
    operations of a product. Series B investors want to
    see actual performance as well as evidence of a
    commercially viable product or service.

    SERIES-C STAGE
    When you reach the Series C funding stage,
    you're on the road to success. It usually takes
    2-3 years to get to this point on a fast track.
    Additional funding will allow you to develop
    new products, enter new markets, and even
    acquire other startups.

    IPO STAGE

    An IPO, or initial public offering, is the process


    of going public by selling corporate shares on
    the open market. This can be a very effective
    way for a growing startup with proven
    potential or a well-established company to
    raise funds and reward early investors,
    including the founder and team.
