Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are startup valuation calculators?

Startup valuation calculators provide estimates based on industry standards and comparable companies. While useful for initial assessments, actual valuations depend on many factors including market conditions, investor sentiment, and company-specific factors. For formal valuations, consult with professionals.

What's the difference between pre-money and post-money valuation?

Pre-money valuation is your company's value before receiving investment. Post-money valuation is the pre-money valuation plus the investment amount. For example, if your pre-money valuation is $4M and you raise $1M, your post-money valuation is $5M.

Which valuation method should I use?

The best method depends on your startup's stage and industry. Revenue-generating companies often use revenue multiples. Early-stage startups may rely on stage-based or comparable company methods. Many investors use multiple methods and take an average.

How often should I reassess my startup's valuation?

Review your valuation quarterly or when significant milestones occur (new revenue streams, major partnerships, product launches). Market conditions and industry trends can also impact valuations, so stay informed about your sector.
