From Seed to Series A – what’s the difference in their approach?

What are the differences between Seed to Series A?

Truth is, it can be confusing.

Especially when you see multi raises at the same funding stage.

We asked Akshat Goenka from Moonfire Ventures what he sees as the key differences between the way companies operate at these these 2 key stages.

Akshat sums it up with:

1. Predictability
2. Performance.

Seed funding: early stage startups

• They’re focused on their team, new ideas, and generating initial sales
• Investors are looking for a promising idea and capable team

Series A funding: startups with some level of success

• Investors expect clear path to profitability and predictable business model
• Focused on key metrics including CAC, LTV, NDR
• VCs want to understand product strategy and the customer base growth plan
