So you spend less time negotiating and you don\u2019t have to lock in a valuation too early.","link":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"<h2>How much you should raise (and what it means for dilution)<\/h2>\n<p>Some advisors will tell you to &#8216;raise as much as you can&#8217;, but here\u2019s why that doesn\u2019t work in practice.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you tell investors you\u2019re raising $5 million for a pre-seed round. That might sound ambitious, but it also sends a signal about how much you think your company is worth.<\/p>\n<p>Most early-stage investors assume their money will buy around 20% of the company.<br \/>\nIf $5 million represents 20%, that means your startup\u2019s post-money valuation would be about $25 million.<\/p>\n<p>For a pre-seed company, that\u2019s usually far too high. It suggests you might be overvaluing your business or misunderstanding how valuations work at your stage.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why &#8216;raise as much as you can&#8217; isn\u2019t helpful advice. It can make you look unrealistic before the conversation even starts.<\/p>\n<p>A better approach is to plan for 12-18 months of runway. That\u2019s because fundraising itself takes time (often 6 months or more), and you\u2019ll need to show progress before investors back you again.<\/p>\n<p>When setting your funding target, it helps to start with a few key questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What\u2019s the minimum you need to keep the business running?<\/li>\n<li>What will it take to hit your next major goals?<\/li>\n<li>How much extra funding would you need for breathing room?<\/li>\n<li>At what point does raising too much start creating pressure or unrealistic expectations from investors?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you\u2019ve got those answers, map everything out in a simple spreadsheet. Work out your monthly burn (things like salaries, marketing, and development costs) then multiply by the number of months\u2019 runway you want, adding a small buffer for surprises.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, be careful not to overextend your plan. Some founders start by imagining a full team straight away; say ten people, averaging around $80,000 each. That\u2019s $800,000 per year in salaries alone.<\/p>\n<p>If you then plan for 18 months of runway, your total funding you\u2019ll need jumps to roughly $1.2 million. Add other expenses (like marketing and software) and it\u2019s easy to end up targeting a $1.4 million raise.<\/p>\n<p>At a typical seed-stage dilution of around 15%, that implies a post-money valuation of roughly $9-10 million. This is probably a lot higher than what investors expect for a company at that stage.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why you\u2019ll usually need to scale back your plan unless you can show the traction or investor demand to justify a bigger raise. Start with what you really need to hit your next milestone, not the ideal version of your future team.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve set your target raise, check what that means for dilution. At angel and seed stage, founders typically sell 10-20% of the company. That\u2019s the range most investors expect; enough upside if things go well and enough influence if they don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>So if your target amount and your dilution comfort zone don\u2019t match up, you\u2019ll need to adjust one or the other. Either raise less, or accept a lower valuation.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_highlight","highlight_type":"tip","background_colour":"blue","show_icon":true,"content":"<b>Are investors asking for too much?<\/b><br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIf you\u2019re considering giving away 20% or more (or being pressured to) think carefully.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThere might be a reason your deal is different, but more often it means your valuation is too low or you\u2019re trying to raise too much too early.","link":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"<p>Let\u2019s run through an example.<\/p>\n<p>Say you want to raise $1 million and you don\u2019t want to give away more than 15% of the company. To work that out, you divide the amount you\u2019re raising by the percentage you\u2019re willing to dilute. $1 million divided by 15% gives you a $6.67 million post-money valuation.<\/p>\n<p>Then you subtract the $1 million investment, and that means your pre-money valuation is $5.67 million.<\/p>\n<p>Now, imagine investors only think your company\u2019s worth $3 million pre-money. That changes the picture. If you still raise $1 million at that valuation, your post-money becomes $4 million, and $1 million is a quarter of that, so you\u2019ll have to give away 25% of the company.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to stick to 15% dilution instead, you\u2019d need to raise less money. At a $3 million pre-money, keeping dilution at 15% means raising only about $530K.<\/p>\n<p>So the trade-off is simple: Either raise the full $1 million and accept more dilution, or raise less to keep ownership higher.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_highlight","highlight_type":"tip","background_colour":"blue","show_icon":true,"content":"<b>Quick tip:<\/b> When pitching, don\u2019t frame it as 'this is the amount we need to survive.' <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nInvestors want to hear how their funds will fuel growth and traction, not just cover costs.","link":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"<h2><a id=\"agile-fundraising\"><\/a>Agile funding: A smarter way to raise money<\/h2>\n<p>Traditional fundraising is like getting everyone onto a bus.
