Early look at the startup valuation data

Thanks to everyone who has submitted their valuation data.  We currently have 15 examples for valuations within the Seattle area.  I am trying to get additional data from outside the Seattle area, and will see what I can do…

So far, I think there are some interesting take aways:

• Average equity stake for investors is targeted at around 24%
• Average Pre-Money Valuation: $4.7M
  • Consumer Internet: $5.5M
  • Enterprise / ASP: $2.3M
  • Other: $3.4M
• Average Post-Money Valuation: $4.9M
• All companies have 10 employees or less
• Stage of company: (companies, valuation, raised/raising)
  • Concept: 1, $7M, ??
  • In Development: 1, $2.5M, ??
  • Beta: 7, $4.9M, 2 raised / 1 raising / 4??
  • Launched / Live: 6, $4.5M, 2 raised / 2 raising / 2??

Obviously, this is not a scientific survey, but I do think the data is quite interesting.  This data does not capture any personal identifiable information is open to everyone to review.

Feel free to share the above links, as the more data we capture, the more usefull it all becomes!
