Investopedia explains 'Development Stage'
While development stage companies usually have limited revenues and earnings, the prospect of substantial profits in a few years time, makes them attractive investments for risk-tolerant investors. Early-stage companies that can successfully grow their business and graduate to the big leagues over a period of time, are likely to reward their shareholders well. Since a substantial proportion of development stage companies fail, a diversified approach is necessary when investing in such companies.
