Attention SAFE holders - it’s time to maintain your stake!

As we get ready to close this round, we wanted to highlight to our SAFE holders a common investment strategy used by angel investors. To avoid dilution these investors will often re-invest a small amount of capital in subsequent rounds, to maintain their stake or position in the companies they are excited about.

The post-money valuation of Vampr at the time of closing the last crowdfund was $8,441,473.

Assuming we fully max out this round, and ignoring the potential for oversubscription, our post-money valuation will be $10,177,611. This includes a fully capitalized 10% ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) created at the request of our lead investor, to incentivize key hires.

So how much would I need to invest to maintain my stake?

[Your first investment] x 0.2057

For someone who invested $1500 in round one, this would mean investing $309 in this follow-on round.*

Vampr is on a wonderful trajectory and as an investor we know you feel the same. Thanks for coming on this journey with us.

Cheers,
Josh

*NB: Reminder that the minimum investment for this round is $250
