No, they do not. They issue convertible debt with a cap at $5M-$10M. A debt conversion cap is not a valuation - the current valuation is by definition lower. It's lower by at least the amount of the discount, and almost certainly by much more than that.

Simple thought experiment to make this obvious: when a company raises convertible debt with no cap, are they infinitely valuable?
