Hello, I'm new to the equity crowdfunding world, I've searched for hours on the internet and so far I can't find anything that comprehensively explains how it works. Like I don't understand what valuation cap, discount, pre money, post money valuation, means. I also don't know if this means my stake can get diluted. I can't understand for F*ck what it all means and how much the potential return could be. Like for example let's say I'm investing $100 where the valuation cap is 9 million pre money valuation and the discount rate is 20%. What does that mean? It's raising $250,000. It's also a SAFE which from what I understand I'll get a return from VC's funding it. Assuming that VC's won't dilute my shares would be wise to hold on to the shares until it IPO'S?
