Round B
Let's assume that the same Widgets, Inc. gets the second round of financing, Round B. A new investor agrees to make a $20 million investment for 30 newly issued shares. If you follow the example above, it has 120 shares outstanding. Post-money valuation is:
- $20 million * (150 / 30) = $100 million
The pre-money valuation is:
- $100 million – $20 million = $80 million
The initial shareholders further dilute their ownership to 100/150 = 66.67%.

Famous quotes containing the word round:
“Violence upon the roads: violence of horses;
Some few have handsome riders, are garlanded
On delicate sensitive ear or tossing mane,
But wearied running round and round in their courses
All break and vanish, and evil gathers head:
Herodias’ daughters have returned again.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
