“As a founder, think hardest about the team. Are these the people I want to be in trouble with for the next 5, 10, 15 years of my life? Because as you build a new business, one thing’s for sure: you will get into trouble.”

Valuation Methodology1. Determine valuation
in an out year
Revenue in year 5 is $20 million
Use a multiplier (i.e., revenue, operating income, earnings, subscribers, locations, etc.) to determine value
A revenue multiple of 2x would make the company value $40 million in year 5
2. Compare future value with current value
Divide the future value ($40 million) by the post-money valuation
Post-money value of $10 million means this investment increased in value by 4x ($40 million / $10 million)
4x in 5 years equals a 32% IRR
