I have a question related to raising funds. If I have an idea and I want a fund to start the startup on my idea. So I will pitch my idea to investors. And investor like my idea and ready to invest. So the question is that, 1. How to decide or calculate the funds I needed at pre seed funding to start the startup. 2. How much it will take time to receive the amount of money for start-up. 3. And how to decide the valuation of my start-up at starting stage or pre seed funding level.

1. Build a solid financial model that caters to some scenarios - optimist & pessimist. Work on assumptions- they will be your main POV considering one is pre revenue. 2. Anywhere between 3-6 months is the average fundraising cycle 3. Pre revenue valuation is tricky. Usually driven by valuing your idea, your team, tech stack to be used, any partnedships or GTM strategy is place and value of product built so far. You definitely won’t get valued just by having an idea. Some work goes into it at the fundamental level. Different angels, VC & micro VCs use different methods for this. It is subjective in practical life.
