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 stock-market listing or a sale. Each step is larger than the last and asks for more proof.
- Series A: Series A is usually the first large round a startup raises from venture capital funds, after it has shown that people want what it sells.
- Family office: A family office is a private company that manages the wealth of one wealthy family, or a few families together. In startups, family offices invest directly in companies and also back venture funds as limited partners.
