Seed funding is the first institutional capital bootstrapped startups raise to build product, hire a core team and prove the model. In India a seed round is usually Rs 25 lakh to Rs 5 crore for 15% to 25% equity, from angel investors, micro-VCs, accelerators or the Startup India Seed Fund. For bootstrapped founders raising their first round, investors weigh revenue, retention and valuation leverage above all.
