Seed vs VC: Which is right for your startup?
Seed funding ranges from $100K-$2M, ideal for MVPs, early hires, and initial traction. It involves 10-15% equity dilution, faster access, and minimal oversight. Venture capital rounds typically start at $2M-$10M, require 20-30% dilution, and bring structured growth plans, board seats, GTM strategy, and access to future rounds. The choice lies on burn rate, product maturity, and how you need scale.
