The document outlines the typical progression of capital that companies raise as they grow. It discusses unpaid accelerators, paid accelerators that provide $30k on platforms like TechStars and YCombinator. Pre-seed funding of $200k comes from sources like K9 Ventures and Bee Partners. Series Seed funding of $500k comes next, followed by Series A of $5M, Series B of $15M, Series C of $30M, mezzanine of $75M, and finally an IPO of $250M. Each stage lists the typical sources and platforms used to raise that level of funding.
