InvestmentsFunds, valuations and what the contract says

VALUATION

The company's value agreed upon with investors. It appears in two forms: pre-investment and post-investment.

Why it matters

Determines how many shares an investor receives for their money — it's the most important number in the entire round.

What's missing without it

Without a set valuation, the round cannot close, because it's unclear what each party gets.

When it is used

In every funding round, with convertible instruments, and during their conversion.

How we use it

A pre-investment valuation of 8 million USD plus a 2 million USD investment results in a 10 million USD post-investment valuation.

Fun fact

A startup's valuation is the result of negotiation, not a formula. The same company can be worth twice as much a year later if the market suddenly considers its industry trendy.
