Dilution Dynamics in Early-Stage Rounds Dilution starts (even though it may not feel this way) with the SAFE round. Lots of founders are using SAFEs to raise their initial $500K…or $1M…or $5M. It’s much more common than it used to be. But if those SAFEs are all post-money, the dilution adds up quickly. Founders should be wary of stacking too many SAFEs on each other as they come with anti-dilution effects for investors. #VentureCapital #StartupFunding #fundraising #VcCircle #Funds #CompanyValuation #FundingRounds #strategy #investments #investors #PrivateEquity #Angelinvestors #GetFunded #Bootstrapping #thoughtleadership #founders #CFO Pre-Seed in the US : "Source Carta"
