Investors do not decide your valuation based on your passion or your vision. They run numbers. You need to run them first.
This model gives you three independent valuation methods — VC Method, Comparable Company Analysis, and your own target — then weights them into a single defensible pre-money valuation range. Walk into every funding conversation prepared.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
→ Inputs Tab — Company metrics (TTM revenue, growth rate, gross margin, burn rate, ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV) plus funding round structure (investment sought, desired post-money, equity offered, price per share)
→ VC Method Tab — Exit-based return model: projects exit revenue, applies EV/revenue multiple, calculates required ownership at exit, accounts for dilution, and back-solves to a pre-money valuation
→ Comparable Analysis Tab — 5 pre-loaded benchmark companies with revenue, growth, gross margin, and EV/revenue multiples. Auto-calculates implied valuation based on your selected multiple
→ Summary Tab — Weighted valuation (you set the weights), bear/base/bull case range, equity at base case
WHO THIS IS FOR:
Founders preparing for a seed, Series A, or any external funding conversation. Operators who want to understand the math behind the term sheet they're about to sign.
FILE DETAILS:
Format: Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)
Sheets: Cover, Inputs, VC Method, Comparable Analysis, Summary
