How is the valuation of my fundraising round determined?

A company will typically join TradeWinds and launch a fundraising round with a valuation target in mind. Oftentimes, the company has pre-existing offline investor traction. The terms established with offline investors, who are often professional angels or venture capitalists, typically serve as the basis of the valuation and terms offered to online investors on TradeWinds. Neither TradeWinds, nor LightPath will provide valuation services for the Companies.
