This session is one of our most popular workshops. Which is great, because equity and valuations are two things you really need to understand before you start asking people for their money. During this session, we’ll explain how equity works and walk you through some simple methods for valuing your startup.

About this workshop:

You’ll learn how equity works initially and over multiple rounds as you're raising capital. We’ll show you how you’ll end up with a smaller piece of a bigger pie, and how that’s totally okay.

They say valuation can be as much an art as a science, and there is definitely a psychology at play during capital raising negotiations. We'll run through 4 ways of valuing your startup to give you an operating range of valuation as a base to confidently negotiate from.

And finally, we're not lawyers but we have seen a lot of deals and we'll give you a quick run down on equity, convertible notes and SAFE agreements, plus some of the key legal deal terms you'll see.

You’ll receive slides and an Excel cap table template.
