Rules of thumb: a priced seed or Series A usually costs founders 15 to 25% for the new money, plus whatever option pool is created. Watch the pool: when it's carved out of the pre-money, it dilutes you and not the incoming investor, so a bigger pool is really a lower valuation in disguise. And dilution compounds. Every future round takes a slice of what's left, which is why founders who look like they own the company at seed often hold far less by Series B. New to the terms? The full guide to dilution is here.
