A. EARLY FUNDING SUPPORT (PRE-SEED FUNDING)

Pre-seed capital is a minor investment that entrepreneurs need to make at the outset of their businesses in order to get them off the ground. Pre-seed financing is typically utilized to create a product at an early stage and to raise funds in subsequent fundraising rounds. FACTSHEETINC assists early-stage businesses in obtaining funding from angel investors, micro-VCs, business loans, and grants. The notion is that by starting to raise funding early on, start-ups may cut the time and cost of bringing a new product or service to market. Entrepreneurs can also use pre-seed capital to test their company models and present their ideas before seeking traditional investment.

We assist start-ups in raising money for their seed rounds. Although the amount of money required in a seed capital round is tiny, start-ups confront several hurdles, particularly given their infancy. This is why, before starting your seed round, it is always best to have a clear finance strategy in place.

Benefits of seed round funding include:

ü Enhanced Liquidity: Seed rounds give more capital to start-ups than angel rounds, making it simpler to recruit new consumers and build your firm.

ü Enhance Your Business Case: A compelling business case is required forgetting any form of investment from investors; having this document ready before seeking seed money will boost your chances of success.

C. SERIES A FUNDING

Series A capital is typically utilized to assure the start-continued up's development and achievement of new milestones. Series A investment also allows investors to join a firm at an early stage, assisting in its growth and eventual success.

A start-up may raise between $1M and $10M in a series A investment, depending on the sector and how much has been invested in prior rounds and how much will be spent in future rounds.

D. SERIES B FUNDING

Series B funding is a step in any start-up fundraising process in which a company seeks investment for growth and scalability. Series B start-ups have various fundraising possibilities for raising funds than prior investment rounds such as the seed round or the series A round. Venture money, private equity investors, and equity crowdfunding can all provide Series B investment. The average amount raised in a series B round varies from $8 million to $50 million.
