Primary Work by Stage of Funding

At each stage of funding the startup team takes on a new set of tasks.

Here’s the primary work at each stage:

PreSeed — Define the market and identify the target customer.

The early-stage team researches the market and talks with potential customers about product needs.

Seed — Build the initial MVP and test the market.

The team builds a minimum viable product and tests cohorts of prospective customers.

Seed+ — Build and launch the initial product for the market.

The team takes the lessons learned from the MVP and builds a product to take to market.

Series A — Grow product sales.

The team builds out the product features to accelerate the growth.

Series B — Scale product sales.

The team builds out the distribution channels and product delivery to work at scale.

Series C — Identify new products to build.

The team looks for strategic adjacencies and product extensions to build and sell.

Series D — Identify target acquisitions.

The team looks for other companies to acquire to increase the sales growth.
