- jayzee 15y agoQuite a few startups that I know are doing a rolling close ... So the early investors get a better valuation for coming in early without asking the perennial, 'Who else is in the deal' question. Investors who come in later pay a premium since the startup has been derisked (at least from a fund-raising perspective)... So I think often there isn't a single valuation for these rounds.
- hornbaker 15y agoYou can assume those went down in the range of $2-$4M pre-money for a priced round (a single seed investor will want between 20-40% of the company, depending on how strong the team/traction is). Many seed rounds are convertible notes, however, which are not priced, but rather pegged to a Series A with a cap and discount.
