Common Startup Pitfalls
Overvaluation: Asking for too much money at too high a valuation can kill your next round.
Hidden Burn: Not accounting for legal, software subscriptions, and team benefits in your monthly burn.
Equity Dilution: Founders giving away more than 20% in seed rounds often lose control of the company.
Understanding Startup Metrics
Whether you are building a SaaS platform, a D2C brand, or a Fintech app, investors look for three core things: Unit Economics, Scalability, and Founder Control.
Burn Rate
The amount of money your startup is losing every month. Gross burn is total expenses, while Net burn is Expenses minus Revenue.
Runway
The number of months you can survive before running out of cash. Most VCs want to see at least 18 months of runway after a funding round.
Valuation
Often calculated as a multiple of your revenue. High-growth tech companies can command 10x multiplier, while service businesses are usually 2x-3x.
Dilution
The percentage of the company you give to investors. Be careful not to dilute too much in early rounds to maintain decision-making power.
Shark Tank Pitch Checklist
Know Your Numbers
Sharks hate it when you fumble on revenue, margins, or cost of customer acquisition (CAC).
Be Realistic on Valuation
Don't ask for a ₹100 Cr valuation if you only have ₹10 Lakh in annual revenue. Use our calculator to find a fair price.
Clearly State Use of Funds
Are you spending on tech, hiring, or marketing? Investors want to know how their money fuels growth.
The 'Ex-Out' Strategy
Know when to walk away. Giving up 40% of your company for a small check is rarely a good deal for the long term.
Startup Calculator FAQ
How does the calculator estimate valuation?
Our calculator uses industry-standard multiplier models. For example, SaaS startups are valued on a multiple of their ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue), while D2C brands might be valued on their EBITDA (Profitability).
What is equity dilution?
Dilution happens when a company issues new shares to investors. Your ownership percentage decreases, but the total value of your stake usually increases as the company grows.
Can I use this for my pitch deck?
Absolutely! These numbers are based on logical financial models used by angel investors and VCs. However, always consult with a financial advisor before signing any term sheets.
