Why 70% of Startups Undervalue Themselves – And How to Fix It

A founder walked into a meeting with a VC last year. Strong product, paying customers, three years of consistent revenue growth. The investor asked what valuation they were raising at.

The founder said a number. The investor paused, then said: “That’s quite low for where you are.”

The founder had undervalued their own company by nearly 40%. Not because the business wasn’t strong. Because nobody had ever sat down and actually worked out what it was worth.

This happens more than most people admit. And it’s not a small mistake. Walk into a funding conversation undervalued and you give up equity you didn’t need to give up. You set a benchmark that follows your company through every subsequent round. You signal to investors, without meaning to, that you’re not sure of your own numbers.
