Dear Mr Lance, Thanks for the excellent videos. my feedback on this video is, Pls update this important video by keeping the latest trends and facts. all your figures are comparatively low. I'm sure you are aware that there are lot of VC's doing even pre-seed. We all founder's want to hear from you with latest ideologies, methods, values and facts. kindly consider! thanks in advance.
Excellent suggestion! I will put an update on the list for upcoming episodes. Valuations surged during 2020-2021 but have since fallen back. Most deals I see now are roughly in line with what we saw in 2019 (when this episode was recorded). The emergence of pre-seed micro-VC is certainly worth covering.
Do you still think these valuations in this video 3 years ago, for seed, and A still hold water? after the bubble, and now turmoil in the market, ... how do these things fluctuate with the market, or should they? Does a biz that makes cash flow early, have the same fluctuation in valuation, as "potential unicorn SAS" companies do, in market turmoil? thanks,
At the ballpark level, they should still be right. For angel investors, a company that only takes pre-seed and then becomes profitable can generate the same returns as a unicorn that needs many funding rounds. It all depends on the time to exit and your likely exit valuation. If you are not planning for a liquidity event, then you would need to structure the deal differently to ensure the investors receive a strong return in some other way.
Thanks for the video, it helped me understand the differences between the different types of rounds.
Thanks, great to hear! Let me know if there are any other topics you would like to see covered.
@@FeeltheBoot Actually there is plenty of interesting subjects covered already. Let me think about it ; )
