seed financing


Explanation:
financement de pré-amorçage
"...financer les premiers pas du processus de valorisation (pre-seed) après la divulgation de l’invention. Le financement pre-seed pourrait servir à la création de prototypes, à des démonstrations, à l’identification d’un partenaire industriel, à des analyses de marché, aux stratégies pour la prise de brevet, etc. "
pre-seed financing
financing before the actual constitution of the company, that is the funding of resources needed to progress from a tentative idea arising from funded research to a fundable business plan

seed financing Finance Definition
The first financing that a start-up company receives from a venture capital firm or from an angel investor (a wealthy individual who provides capital to very small start-up companies or entrepreneurs). Usually the amount of funds are under $10 million. Seed financing typically goes to very young companies that have a product under development or an idea that they want to create, but are a long way away from having an actual product to sell and being able to earn revenues in the market. Also called first round or initial financing.
