My interpretation is that now you own a smaller percentage of a more valuable company and in theory your dollar value stays the same.


Your dollar value should actually increase (assuming we're not talking down rounds). You still have the same amount of shares, but an "up round" means that each share is now theoretically worth more than it was when you bought in. Practically, however, it's hard to put a true "value" on the shares until an actual sale of the Company or IPO.
