Founder funding 3: How does startup valuation work?
What is your startup actually worth — and who gets to decide?
How do investors set valuations at angel and pre-seed — and what's the logic behind the number? Does a deep-tech company like IQM get valued the same way as a marketplace like Wolt? What frameworks do investors actually use: ownership targets, market comparables, expected dilution? And when does a high valuation stop being a win and start becoming a trap?
Paavo Räisänen, Partner at Maki.vc, brings a clear view of how valuation decisions are really made. Regardless of your stage in the startup journey, this event will give you a sharper and more honest picture of what your startup is (or can be) worth and why.
If you're building something and capital is in your future, this conversation is one you can't afford to miss.
