I would say most of them need money so they can quit their day job(s) and focus on building the product.

Thanks for the reply. So, to clarify, raised capital goes into the pockets of the founders? There is not typically a contract involved that requires company registration (i.e. incorporated), or suggestion on where to put the money?
Thanks again!

I have not raised money myself, but everyone I know who raised a seed round, incorporating was one of the stipulations. There is always a contract (term sheet), which spells out certain requirements. But typically the bulk of the money raised, goes toward supporting the founders as they build/launch the product.
