Seed-stage startups are newly formed companies in their earliest phase of development, typically operating with initial capital known as seed money. At this stage, founders focus on market research, product development, and establishing a minimum viable product (MVP) to prove their business concept. Funding is usually sourced from founders, friends and family, angel investors, or early-stage venture capital firms in exchange for equity.
