Startups are not limited only to digital business, it is a company that needs an innovative proposal that has not yet been tested in the market, not to be considered a traditional model company.

How do startup investments work in the early stages?

Angel Investment: It is the first phase of investments of any startup. It is used to test the thesis and develop an MVP (minimum viable product) to perform a more in-depth analysis of the market.

Pre-seed: In this phase of investment the startup can invest in improvements in the MVP project and build a pitch with information about the idea or business model, because most of the time so far the startup has not yet launched its services and products.

In the pre-seed the capital can vary greatly, but because it is a more initial bet, it has an estimated limit value of up to R$ 500,000. At this stage it is common for funding sources to come from individuals such as colleagues, relatives, friends and it is also possible to find some Venture Capital specialized in pre-seed investment.

Seed: Investments at this level generate funds to support the initial research work, validating the company’s market, as well as discovering the format of the product and who will be the users or consumers.

The risk of investing in the seed phase is higher, because at this stage the values of investments are around 500,000 to 2 million, and are intended to intensify the growth of companies that have not reached their goals after the launch of products and services in the market.
