The first significant round of funding for a startup, typically used to build an MVP and validate market fit.
A seed round is typically the first formal fundraising round for a startup, coming after any initial bootstrapping or pre-seed funding. Seed funding is used to develop a minimum viable product (MVP), conduct market research, build a founding team, and establish initial traction.
Seed rounds typically range from $500,000 to $5 million, though amounts vary by market and industry. Investors at this stage include angel investors, seed-stage VC funds, and accelerator programs.
Seed-stage valuations typically range from $3 million to $20 million pre-money, depending on the team, market opportunity, and early traction. Many seed rounds use SAFEs or convertible notes rather than priced equity rounds.
