- Traction and revenue
- Market size and potential
- Team experience
- Competitive landscape
- Growth rate
What is Post-Money Valuation?
Post-money valuation is simply your pre-money valuation plus the investment amount:
This is the total value of your company immediately after the investment is made. It's used to calculate how much equity the investor receives.

Pre-money and post-money valuation are the two most important numbers in any fundraising round. Pre-money valuation is what your company is worth before investment. Post-money valuation is pre-money plus the investment amount. The difference determines how much equity you give up.
For example: if your pre-money valuation is $10M and you raise $2M, your post-money valuation is $12M. The investor owns $2M / $12M = 16.7% of your company. Your ownership dilutes proportionally — if you owned 100% before, you now own 83.3%.
