Conversion Early Stage Metrics Pre-Money Valuation 
Both Sides of the Table
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. And we’re patient.

A-Rounds used to be $3–7 million with the best companies able to skip this smaller amount and raise $10 million on a $40 million pre-money valuation (20% dilution). These days $10 million is quaint for the best A-Rounds and many are raising $20 million at $60–80 million pre-money valuations (or greater).

I wrote this because over the last decade I’ve seen a destructive cycle where otherwise interesting companies have been screwed by raising too much money at too high of prices and gotten caught in a trap when the markets correct and they got ahead of themselves. Again, prices are expressed as pre-money valuations.

This post is inspired by some of the earliest conversations I have had with the team here at NextView and since the beginning of my VC journey. Warning – this assumes some basic knowledge of VC performance metrics. Both early- and late-stage startup valuations are currently elevated. Ok, let’s jump in.

The earlier the round, the less capital you need and the more reasonable your valuation the less time that is needed generally to raise capital. In other words, raising $2 million at a $6 million pre-money valuation has always been easier & quicker than raising $20 million at any valuation.
