		<description>Generally, companies seeking venture capital will need to undergo both rounds of Series A and Series B funding.
The series of funding refers less to operation and profitability, but rather the distribution of corporate shares / stock to investors.

Hope this answers your question.

		<description>Thanks for an informative post!  This helped clear up my Series A/B confusion.

Only one question: if a company is already profitable, but has had no (nor needed) previous funding, can they go straight to Series B?</description>
