SEED IS BROKEN AND HERE'S HOW TO FIX IT
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
The term "Seed" in startup funding has become ambiguous, encompassing a wide range of funding amounts and company stages, making it harder for young startups to meet higher expectations and advance to Series A. To provide clarity, categorize Seed funding into two distinct stages: "Seed Inception" for initial funding and early product development, and "Seed Expansion" for startups with traction focusing on iteration and go-to-market testing.
