PrivateTechSharesFlat round
Also called: flat-round
In one line
A funding round priced at the same per-share value as the previous round — neither up nor down.
In plain English
A flat round raises money without changing the valuation. It's a neutral signal: not the growth of an up round, not the alarm of a down round.
If you were explaining it to a 5-year-old
The club raises more coins but keeps the toy price exactly the same as last time — no change in value.
Why it matters when you sell
A flat round keeps your reference price steady and avoids anti-dilution triggers, so it leaves your common value roughly intact.
