The Four Stages of Startup Investments

Startup companies are often defined simply as temporary companies searching for a working business model.  While the point at which a company is no longer a startup and simply just another company is quite the extensive debate, there are certainly agreed upon milestones that exist within startup companies. In this segment we will be examining four of the stages of startup investment.

1) Seed Financing

2) Round 1/A

3) Round 2/B

4) Round 3/C
