Your estimated valuation range
Range based on VC Method. Actual investor offers will vary based on deal terms, market conditions, and investor thesis.
Tip: Run all methods available for your stage. The realistic value across methods gives you a defensible range to bring into investor conversations.
Pre-revenue, pre-seed, seed, and Series A each need different valuation approaches. The calculator shows only the methods that apply.
No single method is correct. Use the VC Method if you're raising from institutional VCs. Use Revenue Multiple if you have MRR. Use Berkus if you're pre-revenue.
A valuation range is more honest than a single number. The realistic figure is your anchor. The optimistic figure is your ceiling in a competitive raise.
Step two is getting it in front of investors who are actively looking. Hockystick puts your verified profile in front of verified investors — no cold email required.
