It feels so good to be in the #ai_zone after spending a few hours working on a big initiative! Do you have the feeling? Like your focus is getting locked in and the progress increasing exponentially.

What valuation should I raise at for a pre-seed marketplace? If I had to break down valuations for marketplaces in the pre-seed/seed market, here is what I see pre-money: Pre-product - $3-5M Post-product and No Revenue - $5-7M Post-product and Early Revenue - $7-10M Post-product and Year-ish+ of Revenue - $8-15M Add $1-5M+ for repeat founders, hot growth, and new vertical. To get the post-money add on the anticipated raise amount. It should typically fall into 15-25% of the post-money amount. For the Founder and VCs out there in pre-seed/seed land, I would love to hear if this fits what you are seeing. Link to original post 👇

Great convo with @cupazhou last night about market-networks. Would love to get advisement from the person who coined the term, @JamesCurrier, on building out our @localbuzz_co market-network.

I built the Startup-Investor Matching Tool, so happy to share how it works. It is free for all, and runs independent of any work @lolitataub does. We don't give preferential treatment to specific founders or investors.

Great tip for #founders
First-time Founders gearing toward VC: Angels and Scouts are great at giving raw private feedback on your venture. The trick is to *fastly* process many colliding but candid views, which lead to a clearly communicated plan, in sync with your narrow opportunity set. 😇
