What's my company worth?
Set your valuation too high and you risk putting investors off. Set it too low and you could give away more equity than you need to. So how do you find a valuation that works for both you and your investors?
Join Hatty Fawcett, Founder of Focused For Business, and Adam Phillips, Funding Associate at SeedLegals, for a practical webinar exploring how startup valuations work and what founders should consider when deciding what their company is worth.
Drawing on their experience supporting hundreds of startup funding rounds, Hatty and Adam will demystify startup valuation and help you approach conversations with investors with greater confidence.
We’ll explore:
How to value an early-stage company
What investors look at when assessing the value of your business
The factors that can increase — or decrease — your valuation
How much equity you might expect to give away during a funding round
Pre-money vs post-money valuation and why understanding the difference matters
Whether you're preparing for your first Angel or VC raise, already talking to investors, or simply want to understand what your startup could be worth, this session will give you practical insights to help you approach your next funding round.
