Series B Funding is a type of investment round that occurs after a company has completed its Series A funding. Series B investors typically invest in companies that have demonstrated some traction, for example in terms of customer growth or product-market fit. Equity crowdfunding, on the other hand, is the term used to describe the process by which a company raises money from a large number of people (aka "the crowd") by offering them ownership stakes in the company. This type of funding is usually used by early-stage companies that are still trying to establish themselves and have yet to generate significant revenue.
