I attended the demo day #2 @residencyBLR founders track on 2026‑09‑28, where Vineet Agarwal from Razorpay Ventures walked us through practical fundraise planning, valuation methods, market sizing, sector‑specific revenue multiples, and dilution targets.
I aim for a dilution baseline of 10‑15 % per round, which we agreed is a sane target for early‑stage fundraising.
VCs care about a sizable total addressable market, so founders should demonstrate a market big enough to attract investor interest.
Revenue multiples differ across SaaS, hardware, and services, with SaaS typically commanding higher multiples than hardware or services.
