Spark Foods Pvt Ltd, a startup, has a pre-money valuation of ₹18 crore. A venture capital fund invests ₹6 crore for new equity shares. What percentage of the post-money company will the VC fund hold?
The VC fund will hold 25%. Post-money valuation equals pre-money ₹18 crore plus the new investment of ₹6 crore, which is ₹24 crore, and the investor's stake is ₹6 crore divided by ₹24 crore. Dividing by pre-money value would wrongly give 33.33%.
- A25%Correct
- B33.33%
- C20%
- D30%
Explanation
Post-money valuation = 18 + 6 = ₹24 crore. VC stake = 6/24 = 25%. Using 6/18 = 33.33% wrongly divides by the pre-money value instead of post-money.
