What are seed rounds?

A seed round is the very first official funding stage for a startup, like Callosum raising $100 million. It's called 'seed' because it provides the initial capital to plant the business idea and help it grow. Investors are betting on early potential, often before a product is fully developed or generating significant revenue.
