Abstract
Improving our understanding of the initial conditions and earliest stages of protostellar collapse is crucial to gain insight into the origin of stellar masses, multiple systems, and protoplanetary disks. I discuss recent advances made in this area thanks to (sub)millimeter mapping observations with large single-dish telescopes and interferometers.
