Early-round money fin.

[sermikam]

Пожалуйста, помогите перевести.

Выражение встречается в следующем контексте:

The more typical start-up company that requires investor capital will
need several infusions or rounds of capital before it is self-sufficient
in terms of cash flow. Early-round money may be needed
to prove the soundness of the business concept, to begin the
development of the product or service, and to start building the
organization.
Perhaps most important to the founder who will need more
