Investment Round
An Investment Round is a stage-specific fundraising event where startups raise capital from external investors in exchange for equity or convertible debt. Common investment rounds include:
Pre-Seed and Seed: Early-stage funding for product development and market validation.
Series A/B/C: Growth capital for scaling operations, expanding markets, or product enhancement.
Bridge/Convertible Note Rounds: Interim financing before a larger round.
Each round involves valuation negotiations, term sheets, due diligence, and potential equity dilution.
