Terms in this story
- 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.
