Valuation for Founders Raising Capital
Raising capital requires a pre-money valuation you can defend in a term-sheet conversation. Investors will stress-test your assumptions. Using institutional FCFF and FCFE methods — rather than ARR multiples from a peak-market comparable — grounds your number in cash-flow reality and signals to sophisticated investors that you understand the math behind the number. It also gives you a clear framework for explaining what dilution means in dollar terms, not just percentage points.
