Startup Valuation Basics | Pre-Money & Post-Money Explained | Shark Tank Valuation Concepts

Описание: Whenever startups go through a funding round, there are two concepts that always come up: pre-money valuation and post-money valuation. Let’s say a startup is looking for an investor because they need to raise, for example, ₹20 crore.
Before that investment actually happens, the founders need to determine what the company is currently worth based on factors like the strength of their team, their intellectual property, their growth traction, and their sales. In this scenario, let’s assume they value the company at ₹80 crore; this is your pre-money valuation, which literally means the value of the startup before the new money comes in.
Now, once that ₹20 crore is actually invested, the company’s cash-in-hand increases, which changes the total value of the business. To find the post-money valuation, you simply add the new investment to the pre-money value. So, in our example, the ₹80 crore pre-money plus the ₹20 crore investment equals a post-money valuation of ₹100 crore.
This distinction is crucial for figuring out equity. If I am the investor putting in ₹20 crore, my ownership stake is calculated against that final ₹100 crore post-money valuation. Because I put ₹20 crore into a company now worth ₹100 crore, I would receive a 20% stake in the company. That is the basic math behind how pre-money and post-money valuations work during a fundraise.
To make this even clearer, think of a startup like a glass of juice. The juice already in the glass is your pre-money valuation—it represents all the hard work and assets you've already built. When an investor comes along and pours in more juice (the investment), the glass becomes fuller. That new, total level of juice is your post-money valuation, and the investor’s share is simply the portion they poured in compared to the whole glass.
