Let me break this down from my experience. The "traditional" path looks like this: Pre-seed: Friends & Family ($25k-500k) Seed: Angels & Early VCs ($500k-2M) Series A: Product-market fit ($2M-15M) Series B: Scaling ($15M-50M) Series C+: Expansion/Pre-IPO ($50M+) BUT here's what nobody tells you: Stripe raised $2M from YC + angels, then jumped straight to an $18M Series A. Notion bootstrapped until their Series A. There's no "correct" path anymore. What matters is your metrics and story.
