New firms are financed in a series of venture capital rounds that reflect the advancement of an idea from an initial concept to creating a publicly traded firm. The earliest stage provides seed capital and may involve an "angel" investor. Investments are typically in the $500,000 to $1 million range. The next round is often labeled "Series A" and typically involves investments in the $1 million to $10 million range.
