Pre-Revenue

Definitions

1. Describing a company that has not yet generated meaningful revenue from customers. Pre-revenue status is common early on, but investors then rely more on team, market, and validation signals.

   In plain English: At a stage before the company is really making money from customers.

   Example: "The startup was pre-revenue but had unusually strong design-partner engagement."
