Business Valuation: Know What You're Worth

Before you sell or raise, know what you could get.

📚 9 articles⏱️ ~2.5 hoursIntermediate–Advanced

About This Learning Path

Most founders get valuation wrong, either asking too little when selling or accepting dilution they regret. You'll learn the three valuation methods: comparable company multiples (what do similar businesses sell for?), discounted cash flow (what's the present value of future profits?), and asset-based valuation (what are physical assets worth?). You'll discover which multiples apply in your sector (SaaS sells for 10x revenue; product eCommerce for 2-4x EBITDA), how to make your business worth more before selling, and what investors actually care about in the numbers.
