Expert Solution
Step 1: Post Money Valuation

Post Money Valuation:

The complete value of a company immediately following an investment is referred to as post-money valuation. The additional money from the most recent funding round is taken into account in this valuation. In essence, it consists of the pre-money valuation (the company's value prior to the investment) and the amount of fresh equity investment.
