種子投資的三個階段

種子投資

一筆提供給投資者或企業家的相對數目較小的資金，通常用來驗證其概念。使用的.範圍可以包括產品開發，但很少用於初期市場運作。

Initial/Seed

A relatively small amount of capital provided to an investor or entrepreneur, usually to prove a concept. It may involve product development, but rarely involves initial marketing.

第一階段

為需要擴充套件初始資本和需要資金的公司企業進行的融資，一般用於開展製造或銷售業務。

First Stage

Financing provided to companies that have expended their initial capital and require funds, often to initiate commercial manufacturing and sales.

第二階段

對已經實現初期資本擴張的公司提供營運資金，公司此時應具有生產運輸能力，擁有不斷增長的財務性收入和存貨。雖然公司已取得明顯進展，但多半還未能產生利潤。

Second Stage

Funds provided for the major growth of a company whose sales volume is increasing and that is beginning to break even or turn profitable. These funds are typically for plant expansion, marketing and working capital development of an improved product.

第三階段

主要為業務增長提供資金，在這一階段的公司銷售量呈不斷增長趨勢並已實現盈虧相抵或開始有盈利。這些資金主要是用來對改良後的產品進行擴大生產、拓展市場營銷渠道和擴大運營資本。

Third Stage

Funds provided for the major growth of a company whose sales volume is increasing and that is beginning to break even or turn profitable. These funds are typically for plant expansion, marketing and working capital development of an improved product.
