In startup land there are various named rounds of funding:
Pre-seed means you don't really have any investors and don't have an equity system set up. You're just somehow supporting yourself while trying to get your initial idea/demo/deck together.
Seed means that an investor (typically called angels) has given you enough money to live on while you develop things to the point that you're presenting to actual VCs.
Lmao consider me pre-seed then, where’s my money lmao.
"Pre-seed tech entrepreneur" is going right onto my CV.
Series D: it could be going really good… or it could be going really bad. Either way, you need cash.
