Seed Round 

A Seed Round is the first significant round of equity financing for a startup, often following informal seed capital. It typically ranges from AED 500,000 to AED 10 million, depending on the business model, market potential, and investor appetite. 

This round is used to: 

• Finalize product development. 

• Hire key team members. 

• Validate market demand. 

• Begin customer acquisition. 

Startups raising a seed round usually have an MVP, some early customer feedback, and a clear product-market fit hypothesis. 

Key investors include angel investors, micro VCs, and seed funds.
