Hiring Management Option Pool Post-Money Valuation 
Both Sides of the Table
JUNE 5, 2015
In the old days VCs funded off of a “pre-money” valuation. If you add the pre-money valuation (let’s say $8 million) to the amount of money you’re raising (let’s say $2 million) you get the post-money valuation. How much is in the option pool?

The investors who provided the $4 million own 40% of the company and the management team owns 60%. Another term that impacts the price is the size of the option pool. Most VCs invest in companies that need to hire additional management team members and sales and marketing and technical talent to build the business.
