Conversion Down Round Startup Valuation 
Both Sides of the Table
JUNE 30, 2016
I understand this instinct for more capital and I have two very different personal experiences: In my first company we raised an A-round of $16.5 conversation literally every week with startups. A $15–20 million valuation sounds better than an $8 million valuation, doesn’t it? I have this “How much should I raise?”

I was reading Danielle Morrill’s blog post today on whether one’s “ Startup Burn Rate is Normal. I love how transparently Danielle lives her startup (& encourages other to join in) because it provides much needed transparency to other startups. ” I highly recommend reading it.

2 preamble issues having read the comments on TC today: 1: I know that the prices of startup companies is much great in Silicon Valley than in smaller towns / less tech focused areas in the US and the US prices higher than many foreign markets. As the risks below get eliminated the higher the valuation investors are prepared to pay.

I thought I’d write a post about how to talk about valuation at a startup and give you some sense of what might be on the mind of the person considering funding you. Of course, unlike cars there is no direct comparison across each startup so these are just some general guidelines to try and even the information field.

Mark Suster wrote a great post yesterday titled The Resetting of the Startup Industry. Much of it is very short term focused and, like a giant tractor beam, draws the conversation into a very short time horizon (as in days or weeks). But, as you raise more money at higher valuations, this will normalize.

I have written about startup valuations previously. If you are advising startup founders, I strongly suggest having them read all 4 of the posts to get the lay of the startup valuation land. Here is Walla’s post: I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had this conversation. Month on month (MoM) growth.

Satya and I were having lunch (yummy Chinese food) with our LPAC and the conversation turned to generally “how much more did venture portfolios have to fall before they found their true current value?” Valuations. Restructures, Down Rounds, and Pay to Plays.
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
