In 2011, the valuation of pre-revenue, start-up companies is typically in the range of $1.5–$2.5 This method compares the target company to typical angel-funded startup ventures and adjusts the average valuation of recently funded companies in the region to establish a pre-money valuation of the target.

pre-money valuation you certainly would want to exercise your right to continue investing if you had prorata rights. Not only are they going public later when they are larger & stronger but the valuations upon their debuts are significantly more rational than the public dot com bubble.

They won a design award at a trade show, but have no revenue and no orders. The entrepreneur launched Zomm in late 2010 and did $700k in sales that year. Upon questioning, it came out that the entrepreneur had invested $4M of his own money into the company and then sold 17% of the company to another investor for $5M.
This is going to be BIG.

Since January of 2010, when I led my first seed investment in Backupify , I have led or committed to 27 investments. The criteria for what is a Seed and what is a Series A for these purposes is whether or not the first round of the company was within the same year that I did the investment, and it had to be less than $750k of prior money.
