Pro Tips
Industry Standard: Most seed-stage companies raise 2-4 rounds before reaching Series A. Aim to keep dilution under 50% by your first priced round.
Option Pool Size: Typical option pools are 10-20% at each round. Be strategic — a large pool at an early round dilutes you more.
Post-Money vs Pre-Money: Investors quote pre-money, but they're really buying a percentage of post-money. If someone offers $2M on $8M pre-money, they get 20% post-money.
Liquidation Preference: Standard is 1x non-participating preferred. Negotiate for 1x — liquidation preferences above 1x can significantly reduce your exit proceeds.
