We often hear about how and what founders should be doing to raise money from VCs.

But taking money from investors shouldn’t be an end in itself. It’s just a stepping stone, and you should pick your VC with a lot of care.

Something easier to do in today’s environment, where VCs have raised lots of money, and they’re ready to deploy that money into your startup.

In this video Alice Besomi, Principal at Jungle Ventures, breaks down how VCs work with startups, and what founders should expect from them.

When you speak to early-stage founders, they often don’t understand how they can either determine a reasonable valuation for their friends & family, seed, or Series A round, or judge if an offer they receive is “fair and reasonable.” There are a lot of moving parts to valuation, and things vary across rounds. In this video, we cover the details and cover what typical numbers look like for these rounds.

Valuation of startups is an important step for any early-stage investor, whether an angel investor, venture capitalist, or crowdfunding investor.

However, many investors have differing opinions on valuation, both in terms of how to do it, as well as whether or not it’s even important.

In Valuation Part 1 for investors, we answer some of these key questions, such as:
-What is valuation?
-Why is it important (or is it)?
-Is valuation more of an art or a science?
-What is the biggest mistake that early-stage investors make?
-How do you calculate pre-money vs. post-money valuation?

Then check out Valuation Part 2, where we will roll up our sleeves and talk about HOW to value a company.

We’ll look at some of the most common valuation methods (Comps, Discounted Cash Flow, VC Method, Berkus, Scorecard, Risk Factor Summation, and First Chicago Methods).

We’ll talk about how valuation works on equity crowdfunding portals. And lastly, we’ll pick a real startup that is currently raising capital and run through the valuation exercise as a case study.
