What is series funding?

Series funding is a type of investment that occurs in the early stages of a startup’s growth, usually after seed funding.

In series funding, a startup typically receives a significant amount of money from venture capitalists (VCs) or angel investors.

The funding round is called a “series” because it is usually the second or third round of funding that a startup receives after its initial seed round.
