Valuation vs Dilution - Theyโ€™re Not the Same Thing Hereโ€™s the truth: Valuation is just a number. Dilution is the actual cost. If your valuation is โ‚น10Cr and you raise โ‚น2Cr โ†’ youโ€™re giving up 20% But if your valuation is โ‚น6Cr and you raise โ‚น1.5Cr โ†’ you give up 25% Ask yourself: Is the extra 5% worth more cash or more control? ๐ŸŽฏ The goal isnโ€™t the highest valuation. Itโ€™s raising what you need and giving up only whatโ€™s reasonable. And make sure the post-raise cap table still makes sense โ€” not just now, but two rounds from now. Happy to help you guys raise money the right way. DM me.
