Terms in this story
- Startup: A startup is a young company built to find a new way of doing something and to grow fast, usually by serving many customers at little extra cost. India also has a legal definition for scheme benefits: under ten years old, turnover under ₹200 crore, and working on innovation or a scalable model.
- Funding stage: Startups raise money in steps called funding stages: pre-seed, seed, Series A, B, C and later, ending in a listing or a sale. Each step is larger and asks for more proof. In India, Series A rounds run from a few million dollars to about $15 million, as of November 2026.
- Seed round: Pre-seed and seed are the first money a startup raises from outside investors. The difference is how much has been built when the cheque arrives: pre-seed backs an idea or prototype, usually with a cheque under ₹5 crore, while seed backs an early product and runs from a few crore rupees to a few million dollars.
- Valuation: A startup's valuation is the total price investors agree the company is worth, and it decides how many shares their money buys. For young companies it is set by negotiation and comparison, not a formula. In India, pricing rules for foreign investors apply, and angel tax no longer does for money raised since 1 April 2024.
