The convention to name a round ‘Seed’ vs ‘Series A’, or ‘Series B’ vs Series C’ responds mostly to the company stage, and a little bit to the size of the round. A lot of the confusion comes from the fact that rounds can vary in size a lot: you can find Seed Rounds at $250K and at $2M, and they are both true ‘Seed Rounds’ (or at least that’s how they are reported in Crunchbase).

So let’s get to it.

I want to ask: to do a pitching for Series A, instead of telling a story, is it better to putting more focus on the business model and how it goes in future?
