Round Price Per Share Number of Shares

Series B $0.75 500,000

Series C $1.25 300,000

Series D $3.50 200,000

Let X be the pre-money valuation for the Series D funding round, Y be the post-money valuation for the Series D funding round, and Z be the percentage of the firm that Dan owns after the last funding round.

    X = $6,300,000

    Y = $7,000,000

    Z = 10%

    Explanation:

    NB: Investment = Price * Number of shares

    For Series A:

    Number of shares = 1,000,000

    Price = Number of shares/Initial Investment

    Price = 1,000,000/100,000 = 10

    Investment = 1,000,000 * 10 = $10,000,000

    For Series B

    Price = $0.75

    Number of shares = 500,000

    Investment = 500,000 * 0.75 = $375,000

    For Series C

    Price = $1.25

    Number of shares = 300,000

    Investment = 300,000 * 1.25 = $375,000

    For Series D

    Price = $3.50

    Number of shares = 200, 000

    Investment = 3.50 * 200,000 = $700,000

    Total shares = 1,000,000 + 500,000 + 300,000 + 200,000 = 2,000,000

    Y = Post-money valuation for the series D funding round

    Y = Series D investment * (total post investment share) / (Shares issued for series D)

    Y = 700,000 * (2,000,000) / (200,000) = $7,000,000

    Y = $7,000,000

    X = Pre-money valuation for the series D

    X = Post-money valuation - New Investment (Series D)

    X = $7,000,000 - $700,000

    X = $6,300,000

    Z = Percentage of the firm that Dan owns after the last funding round

    Z = (Number of shares of series D / Total number of shares) * 100%

    Z = (200,000/2,000,000) * 100%

    Z = 10%
