Question
I'm trying to figure out the value of my company for our seed round. I'm currently building the product with a very large company that wants to be a customer and probable investor.
We are a SasS company in the senior care market sector. There are two similar companies which had seed rounds in the past year, Filament Labs and Medocity.

Answer
If you get into techstars they take 7-10% for $118k which is about a ~$1M valuation. If you're pre money, Seed investors usually cap their valuation at $4-6M, so depending on how much you need is how much they are going to get. That said VC's tend to have a much better run rate then angels. They tend to help you more with further rounds. Really good incubators (only a handful of them exist) can also help further your secondary raises, startups tend to raise on average $2m after graduating.
But the real question is why do you need funding? Are you ready for funding? What is the use of funds directed into?
