Series A Funding 

Series A Funding is the first round of institutional venture capital financing for a startup after the seed round. This round typically ranges from AED 10 million to AED 50 million or more, depending on the startup’s traction, market size, and growth strategy. By this stage, the company should have: 

  • A proven product-market fit. 

  • Early revenue or traction metrics. 

  • A scalable go-to-market strategy. 

The capital raised is typically used for: 

  • Scaling operations and sales. 

  • Expanding the team. 

  • Further product development. 

  • Entering new markets. 

Investors typically receive preferred equity and negotiate rights like board seats and liquidation preferences.
