What is pre-money valuation?

Pre-money valuation refers to a startup’s value before an investment comes in.

For example, if a startup wants to raise an investment of US $500,000 and has a valuation of US $1,000,000, it is said to have a pre-money valuation of US $1,000,000 because that US $500,000 has not yet gone into the startup.
