Pre-Money vs Post-Money | Why It Matters These two terms confuse a lot of first-time founders, but understanding them can save your equity. Hereโ€™s the difference (in plain terms): Pre-Money Valuation โ†’ What your startup is worth before new money comes in. Post-Money Valuation โ†’ What itโ€™s worth after the investment is added. ๐Ÿง  Why it matters: Letโ€™s say an investor puts in โ‚น1Cr. If your pre-money is โ‚น4Cr โ†’ post-money becomes โ‚น5Cr Investor owns โ‚น1Cr / โ‚น5Cr = 20% But if you thought you agreed to a โ‚น5Cr pre-money - now they own โ‚น1Cr / โ‚น6Cr = 16.6% Small mistake here = big dilution later. Always clarify which one you're talking about in your emails and term sheets. If you need help raising funds, DM me.
