EARLY STAGE Early-stage opportunities are usually broken into two categories, called preseed and seed. Preseed investments typically offer an opportunity for a team that has developed a very initial concept or low-fidelity tech solution. Preseed companies can usually use "friends and family" funding or an incubator to help validate an idea by using lean start-up approaches and customer insights to achieve a viable technology solution. An "incubator" is an organization that will mentor very early-stage ideas and concepts and help them grow into more defined businesses. Some incubators are also available at college tech transfer offices, where groundbreaking technologies are developed in labs. These initial concepts still need to be commercialized with the support of the incubator.
