An often overlooked aspect of funding is liquidation preference. Investors usually ensure they get liquidation preference when an exit happens. This means that they first get to take out the money that they had put in, and the remaining is then split up according to the equity share. This is the reason why if a company sells for a valuation lesser than the previous round's valuation, employees usually end up with nothing.

This was really helpful. I never got the valuation concept.Pre and Post valuations along with the shares. This was really beautifully broken down.

Wow. I love this ❤❤❤

I have a similar version of this - I call it the Equity Distribution Calculator - that I've typically shared with my (startup) coaching clients to help them understand equity and dilution in general, and visualize how their present equity holdings could change in the future.

Perhaps I should create a video too...🤔

Great job, Slidebean! More elbow grease... 💪

Quick question; what is the rationale behind the 7x multiplier (new capital request * 7) in your pre-money valuation cell?
