The math of what you’ve invested at the post-money valuation is simple and clear. This calculation is better for both the founders and investors because you know the exact percentage of pizza you’re giving away. To sum it up Focus on growing the value of your one pizza. Be strategic in who you sell your pizza slices to because you want to own as much of your company as possible. If you use pre-money SAFEs, learn how to calculate and keep track of how much pizza you’ve sold. Instead, use post-money SAFEs to have clarity… and sleep well at night knowing you still have enough pizza in the fridge to enjoy later. hustlefund.vc / @hustlefundvc
