What is pre-seed funding?
Pre-seed funding helps founders develop an idea into an early business. Teams may use it to build a minimum viable product (MVP), interview potential customers, test demand or make their first hires. Investors can include angels, accelerators and early-stage venture funds. There is no universal round size or revenue requirement that defines this stage.
Financing may take the form of equity, a simple agreement for future equity (SAFE), or a convertible note. These arrangements differ in when and how investors receive shares; the stage label alone does not identify the terms. Compared with pre-seed, Seed funding often supports further product development and customer validation, but the stages overlap. We use the stage reported in our funding records rather than assigning one based on the amount raised. Follow each announcement for the company’s intended use of funds. The median above describes only the disclosed USD rounds in this page’s 30-day sample, not a typical fundraising target.
About the data
How these figures are calculated
Funding from the past 30 days
Only approved records with a funding date in this period are included. We use the recorded funding date, not the date an article was published or added to our database. The period starts exactly 30 days before the refresh time and ends just before it, so today is only partly covered. Updates can take up to 30 minutes to appear because pages are cached. “Last updated” shows when the data was retrieved; “Latest funding date” shows the newest funding event included.
Funding events and companies
One company can announce more than one funding round. We count each event, but count each company only once per stage. A company can appear in multiple stages, so adding the stage totals will not give a unique company count.
Amounts in US dollars
The total and median use only positive amounts explicitly recorded in USD, shown in millions. We exclude missing amounts, non-USD amounts, zero and negative values, and do not convert currencies here. “USD sample” shows how many events qualify. If none qualify, we show “Unavailable” rather than zero.
What these records cover
These figures describe the funding we track, not the entire market. Round labels follow our recorded classifications. Use the linked announcements for context; a funding stage or amount does not establish a company’s performance. Company profiles require sign-in.
