What Is a Seed Round?
How Seed Funding Works
A seed round is where things get real. The median seed round on Carta is now $4M at a $16M pre-money valuation — up 18% from 2024 (Carta, State of Private Markets Q3 2025). Founders give up roughly 19.5% equity on average.
Seed funding in North America totaled $20.4 billion in 2025, down 9% year-over-year (Crunchbase, 2026). Fewer checks are being written, but the ones that close are larger. A seed round now needs to fund 20–36 months of runway, not 12.
What Seed Investors Expect
Seed investors want product-market-fit signals: early revenue ($5K–$50K MRR), engaged users, or strong retention. They want proof that people will pay for what you have built — a prototype alone is no longer enough.
