Listen to a Podcast About Startup Funding

Navigate the world of raising capital — angel investors, seed rounds, Series A through IPO, term sheets, valuations, and what venture capitalists actually look for in a pitch.

Y Combinator's SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity), introduced in 2013, simplified early-stage fundraising by replacing convertible notes with a streamlined four-page document, and is now the standard instrument for pre-seed and seed rounds in Silicon Valley. The typical startup funding progression — from pre-seed ($50K-$500K) through seed ($500K-$5M), Series A ($5M-$20M), and beyond — sees roughly 90% attrition at each stage, with only about 1% of startups that raise seed funding eventually reaching an IPO. AngelList, founded by Naval Ravikant in 2010, transformed angel investing by creating rolling funds and syndicates that allow smaller investors to participate in startup deals, with the platform facilitating over $12 billion in investments and helping over 15,000 startups raise capital.
