Pre-Money vs Post-Money Valuation, Explained Simply

Leisure


Pre-money and post-money valuation aren't two different numbers competing for accuracy. They describe your company's value at two different points in time: before an investor's money lands, and after. Mixing them up is one of the most common mistakes founders make when reading a term sheet or negotiating a SAFE. In this video, you'll learn: - What pre-money valuation actually means - What post-money valuation actually means - Why neither one is "better," they just answer a different question - How to convert between the two so a term sheet doesn't catch you off guard This is one of the free lessons from our Pre-Seed Fundraising training. The full training, covering SAFEs, convertible notes, cap tables, and negotiation, along with our Capital Connect Program, are both on our Investment page: https://globalstartups.tech/investment/
