I will tell you brief details about seed stage funding, and deal sourcing on this page, so read the conclusion until the end. What exactly is the seed funding? The initial official fundraising round is called seed funding, and it comes immediately after the pre-seed investment stage.
Once a startup has raised seedcapital, plenty of theories and advice exist on how to successfully raise a Series A. Recently, we looked at our own portfolio at NextView Ventures to dig a little deeper on how startups actually raise that next round of financing. More on these below.). There was no meaningful difference.
So far most of the top funded AngelList Syndicates look, well, not surprising. Capital has lined up behind social proof – angels with notable reach or track record. As part of my seed fund Homebrew , we were also one of the first VCs to co-lead an investment alongside an AngelList syndicate (see Shyp ).
As the seed-stage startup fundraise process has received more transparency in recent years, ranging from published advice on how to raise seedcapital to increased availability through AngelList, Funders Club, and various accelerator programs, I’ve noticed another trend emerging.
These days, though, getting the financing for a startup doesn’t have to be the herculean task it once was. Unlike venture capitalists, though, angel inventors use their own money to finance a startup. The amount of capital can vary, ranging from $150,000 and up, and they typically require equity in exchange for the funding.
A company raises $1m of seed money from angels in a convertible note with a $6m cap. Assuming equity is raised at or above that cap, the total dilution, before the new money, is 16.6% (equivalent to an equity financing of $1m at a $6m post money valuation. The company spends the $1m building and launching their first product.
