Typical Valuations by Stage
- Pre-seed: $3M-$10M post-money cap on SAFEs, driven by team, market, and early thesis, not revenue
- Seed: $8M-$20M post-money, driven by early traction, MRR trajectory, and competitive dynamics in the round
- Series A: $30M-$80M pre-money, driven by ARR, growth rate, NRR, and the quality of your unit economics
- These ranges shift significantly by market conditions, geography, sector, and the competitive landscape for your deal
