Pete Martin remembers raising a $5 million seed round at a $25 million post-money valuation for his AI-powered cybersecurity company Realm way back in 2024, aka, like a thousand “AI years” ago.
That valuation seemed high for that amount at the time, he recalled. But today, “it’s pretty typical” to see a $10 million seed round at a $40 million to $45 million post-money valuation, he said, especially if you are an AI company.
