The Seed Stage is the first phase of startup development, which includes market research, creating a business plan, and testing the product or service.
The Seed Stage is part of the commonly accepted investment stage classification. This phase is considered relatively challenging as it involves testing the business model and analyzing how predictions align with actual results.
At this stage, investors include business angels, startup studios, accelerators, incubators, and venture capital firms. When making investment decisions, the evaluation involves examining the product, market, business strategy, team professionalism, attitude, and ambition. Financial models are also analyzed.
The amount of investment depends on the project's needs, goals, and potential. The young company's goal is to demonstrate its potential to investors and determine the required amount of capital.
