SEPTEMBER 15, 2022

When you look at how much median valuations were driven up in the past 5 years alone it’s bananas. Median valuations for early-stage valuations tripled from around $20m pre-money valuations to $60m with plenty of deals being prices above $100m. We also focus heavily on geographies. So it’s about 20%.

An average of these ranges results in a pre-money valuation of about $4MM.   If similarly situated companies are seeing $3.5MM pre-money valuations, this might become the target valuation.   ($2mm invested divided by an average % ownership required to me the investor’s target of 33%).
