In this visually appealing INFOGRAPHIC, we take a simplified look at how startup funding really works. From the idea stage straight through to IPO, this image takes a look at the different funding you’ll receive with each part of the startup evolution.
It’s important to note that this image is a very bare-bones and basic look at the generic startup model, but it certainly helps make the structural system a little more palatable at a glance. What’s interesting here is to see a visual representation of just how much equity you can end up giving out compared to the initial stages. The INFOGRAPHIC has it right though, 100% of nothing is a lot less than 17% of a big company! Have a look below:
Thanks to Funders and Founders for this fantastic image.
