Everyone wonders what startup stages are there, however, the answer is simple:
- Pre-seed
- Seed
- Series A
- Series B
- Series C/Pre-IPO (though I personally wouldn't consider this as a startup anymore, more like a corporation)
Though some components of the table may vary from company to company this give a general overview what are the key components of each round.
