During the early stages of a startup, the management team may not be fully formed; products in the developmental phase or testing phase; patents may not have been granted and even the websites may be in the designing stage. In such cases, the entrepreneurs will usually start to seek startup funding through Accelerators, Angels and Venture Capitalists to grow their business. Startup funding covers incorporation, website designing and so on according to the needs. Securing capital investment which is also called fundraising could be a significant turning point for an entrepreneur. Vakilsearch will help you discover various startup fundraising ideas. Fundraising online and fundraising offline can fetch you more money depending on the fundraising ideas.
Fundraising happens in multiple stages:
Seed round or (commonly called seed funding): As the name suggests, the company gets “seeded” with the initial funds to conceptualize the business idea and to bring it to the market. At this stage, the business may not even have working prototypes set and could still be working towards developing the product.
Series A: Once the company develops the product or service and begins to gain traction, it starts looking out to venture capitalists for the next round of funding, to aid in its early stage of growth.
Series B: By this time, the business would have established a working business model and gained some credibility in the industry. Now, with the potential to grow further, additional capital would be required to expand operations and reach more customers.
Series C: This round of funding happens when the company has proved its mettle in the industry and is on the lookout for expansion of the customer base in new markets, targeting acquisitions, and looking at innovation on other types of products. This may also be the last stage in a company’s growth cycle after which it might go for an Initial Public Offer (IPO).

Investment Pitch Deck
Pitch Deck is essentially a brief presentation that provides investors information about your business model, products/services, monetization strategy, and your company’s market position. Most Venture Capitalists, private equity firms, banks and other financial institutions demand a business plan before further process. It needs to be visually attractive with minimal text and at the same time self-explanatory, effectively communicating your business’ potential.
Some of the components that go into a well-designed business funding plan (or pitch deck) are:
Elevator Pitch - A brief paragraph on the problem you are trying to solve.
Solution - The answer to the problem you are trying to solve.
Market Analysis - Insights into the market and a dense analysis of the competition.
USP - Evidence that your business differs from other businesses and why it will succeed.
Business Model - Where you believe you add value and what customers will end up paying for.
Go-to-market strategy - How you reach customers and convince them. How, over time, this strategy will evolve.
Current Traction - What has already been achieved by the business?
Founding Team - Background on each founding member and other key players.
Vakilsearch has tied up with some of the most experienced investment professionals to craft your business plan so that you can succinctly convey the potential of your business to investors.
After finalizing your deck, we will also conduct a free legal diligence to further assess your investment readiness.
