Definition
The first significant round of funding, where investors plant money in your startup like seeds in a garden, fully expecting that most gardens will produce nothing but weeds and regret. It's typically between $500K and $5M, which is a lot of money for a PowerPoint presentation.
Example Usage
"We raised a $2 million seed round, which our investors described as a bet on the team and we described as two years of pretending to know what we're doing."
