Incorporation & Seed Funding
Lifecycle
Post incorporation, companies can go for seed funding. Here, best VCs usually don’t compete on price if they find valuation is within an industry range. Typically, VCs are interested in owning around 5%-15% at seed funding and around 20% at Series A. Often entrepreneurs negotiate hard with early funding for real good idea. However, that may result in 2-3 VCs signing the ‘maximum price’ for seed funding. However, this also results in complex Board structure that usually can be expected at Series B funding.
