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 low extra cost. India's government also has a narrower legal definition that decides who gets scheme benefits.
  • Co-founder equity: Split equity by what each founder will contribute from now on, not by who had the idea, and attach vesting so that anyone who leaves early does not keep a large share for doing little.
  • Funding stage: Startups raise money in steps called funding stages: pre-seed, seed, Series A, B, C and later, ending in a stock-market listing or a sale. Each step is larger than the last and asks for more proof.
  • Pre-Series A: A pre-Series A round is money raised after a seed round and before a full Series A, to help a startup show the growth that a Series A investor will want to see.
