One number from an advisor, another from the investor
The advisor's number came with no working. The investor who wants in has a lower one. Neither tells you which assumption moves the price, so the first time you defend a valuation is in the meeting.
Four steps to a range
- Enter your company's numbers.
- Choose the methods to run.
- Compare what each method returns.
- Pick the range you will defend.
Each method answers a different question, so each returns a different number, and the spread between them is the useful part. When the methods agree, the range is tight. When they don't, the gap points at the assumption to test before you pitch.
Worked example: what a $5M to $7M range costs in ownership
This example takes a range of $5,000,000 to $7,000,000 as given and prices it. Assumptions: you raise $1,500,000, the valuation is pre-money, no option pool, no SAFEs.
Post-money = pre-money + $1,500,000. Investor stake = $1,500,000 ÷ post-money. Existing holders keep the rest.
| Pre-money | Post-money | Investor stake | Existing holders keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000,000 (low) | $6,500,000 | 1,500,000 ÷ 6,500,000 = 23.08% | 76.92% |
| $6,000,000 (mid) | $7,500,000 | 1,500,000 ÷ 7,500,000 = 20.00% | 80.00% |
| $7,000,000 (high) | $8,500,000 | 1,500,000 ÷ 8,500,000 = 17.65% | 82.35% |
The same $1,500,000 costs existing holders 23.08% of the company at the low end and 17.65% at the high end. That is 5.43 points of ownership between the bottom and the top of the range.
Where the Valuation Calculator stops
- It does not give a formal valuation. It gives you a range to defend.
- It does not price the round. Take your range to the Dilution Calculator.
- It does not know your term sheet. Pool size and SAFEs change the number you walk away with.
