Seed Capital

Seed Capital is early-stage funding used to build an initial product, validate a market, hire a small team, and reach milestones necessary to raise a larger priced round. In venture financing, Seed Capital can come from angels, micro VCs, seed funds, or accelerators, and Seed Capital is often raised via SAFEs, convertible notes, or seed preferred equity.
