A company's valuation immediately after a round closes — pre-money valuation plus the amount raised.
Post-money = pre-money + amount invested. If a company is valued at $8M pre-money and raises $2M, its post-money valuation is $10M and the new investors own 20% ($2M / $10M).
Post-money is the number most public announcements cite. It's also the base for post-money SAFEs, which fix each SAFE holder's ownership at signing rather than diluting them across later SAFEs.
