Early Stage
Définition
The term “Early Stage” refers to the early stages of a startup's development, often after the seed phase, but before the business is mature or profitable. At this stage, the company begins to market its product or service, build a customer base, and generate its first sales. The risks remain high, but it is also a crucial period where the foundations for future growth are being laid. Venture capitalists and business angels often play a key role at this stage in providing the funds needed to fuel growth.
