Often entrepreneurs entering the startup arena are exposed to a completely new business vernacular. Unless these brave souls peddling their new ideas have a background in finance, they find themselves lost in conversations with people throwing around terms like angel investor, crowdfunding, seed funding, VC (venture capital) -- and the list continues to grow daily. Another misconception from early entrepreneurs is the use of accelerator and incubator interchangeably as synonyms, which is understandable but incorrect.
