It's not necessary to always get more valuation at every round. That will make it difficult to raise the further up you go. Need to have a decent valuation that can be justified well all things considered.

@Rorschach They had offered at 100 cr, later kept at 75cr. Is this huge valuation gap? I think it was pretty justifiable considering she has been profitable from start

Not very sure tbh, sometimes they cut stuff out to keep it simpler for TV even when actual negotiations can take upto an hour or more. Maybe there was more context. Plus it's not unusual to get funded at last round, have seen it happen in other shark tanks as well (us, aus).

Vineeta trapped her. She wanted to have all of them at 75 cr valuation and once an investor knows that you want people more than money, they wont leave a chance to milk a few bps. As soon as vineeta got the sniff she asked for it. Also she did not hesitate at all i guess in her subconscious mind she was ready to close any offer at 75 cr valuation.

She got trapped. Good investors don't go up and down on their committed valuation. They're clearly not great investors yet

How does equity works for founding engineer?

I got a offer where i will get the equity. Does people really make money when company get sold considering in my case if i get 1% equity. Also how does it work? Suppose when we start valuation of the company is 1 cr so my part will be 1L. Now in the next round suppose the valuation is 10cr then does it increase my equity to 10L or it dilute my % of equity? Suppose if the company is sold at 100cr, do i really get 1 cr? Kindly let me know how it works and really people make money or not if it get sold.

Are ESOPS really worth it? Has anyone built considerable wealth through it? Share experience.

Please share how your company esop policy is. Is it really valuable for employees or just used to create hype and retail talent. How many years can you exercise them after resignation? How did the taxation go if someone has been lucky enough to convert it to cash? Should esops be a factor while leaving current company or joining a new company?
