Ever wondered what happens before a startup secures funding? Let's deconstruct it Valuation is key in funding rounds – is it art or science? For early-stage startups, it's a mix. Common Valuation Methods: DCF: Future cash flows discounted to present (hard for early stage). Market Multiples: Comparing to similar companies (finding true peers is tough). VC Method: Works backward from target exit valuation, considering desired returns. Traction/Growth: For early stages, relies heavily on MRR, customer growth, market size, and team experience. Scenario: InnovateTech AI Pre-seed AI analytics platform with MVP. Current: ~$5k MRR (3 months), 15 pilot customers (3 new/week). Team: 3 experienced co-founders. Market: $50B+ global, distinct AI advantage. Previous Funding: $100k angel (convertible note) Ask: Series A for scaling. Poll: What Series A valuation for InnovateTech AI? A) $5M - $10M B) $10M - $20M C) $20M - $30M D) Other (comment!) Cast your vote! What factors do you prioritize?
