InvestmentsFunds, valuations and what the contract says

UP ROUND

A funding round at a valuation higher than the previous one.

Why it matters

Confirms company growth and rewards early investors and employees.

What's missing without it

Without it, recruitment becomes harder — employee stock options lose their appeal.

When it is used

When results and market sentiment are strong.

How we use it

Series B at a valuation three times higher than Series A.

Fun fact

For the team, an up round has a side effect: stock options granted a year earlier suddenly become worth many times more, effectively retaining people until the end of the vesting period.
