Valuation for Seed Stage Startups (3 Rules You Need to Know)

Описание к видео Valuation for Seed Stage Startups (3 Rules You Need to Know)

One of the most common questions we get is how do you value early stage companies (at a seed stage) before there's revenue?

Generally as businesses get larger and raise more capital, you'll get access to metrics that will drive a business valuation. Especially when these business go public, you can use comparable metrics with other companies on a multiple basis; such as on a profit multiple or revenue multiple.

While these businesses are much larger, these metrics are a great guide for what to expect in the future.

But in an early stage startup, when there's no revenue, very few metrics, and the business is essentially an idea or a PowerPoint where teams are looking to get formed - there's no real comparables or metrics to look at.

So typically valuation comes down to a negotiation between founders and investors.

But what rules do you need to keep in mind when it comes to negotiation?
