Robust Pre-Seed Fundraising in Q1 2024
SAFEs and Valuation Caps
Fundraising for pre-seed companies remained steady in the first quarter of 2024. Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFEs) dominated the funding landscape, with a median valuation cap for post-money SAFEs at $10 million. This indicates a slight decline in valuation caps compared to previous quarters.
Record-Breaking SAFEs
Startups secured a median of $660,000 through SAFEs, demonstrating robust activity at the early-stage funding level. The valuation cap, which sets an initial valuation for the startup, continues to be a critical consideration for pre-seed investors.
