How much is my company worth? A founder's guide to company valuation
Not a guess, and not a headline. Value your company across four lenses to get a defensible range. Includes the video, the SEG 2026 data, and a live valuation calculator.
Why your SaaS company probably isn't worth 10x revenue
A 10x revenue multiple is a trophy, not a target. See where SaaS companies actually trade, what a true 10x really requires, and how to value yours with a defensible range.
Revenue growth rate and valuation: the single biggest driver of your multiple
Of the four lenses, growth moves your multiple the most. See what each growth band is worth, where the sweet spot sits, and how to read your own number.
Gross margin and valuation: why revenue quality changes your multiple
Two companies, the same sales, very different value. See why margin measures the quality of your revenue, what each band is worth, and how to read your own.
EBITDA margin and valuation: how buyers read your profitability
The profitability lens. See why buyers don't punish losses the way founders expect, and the 20% margin step where the multiple re-rates.
The Rule of 40 for SaaS: one score that sets your valuation multiple
Growth plus profitability in a single score, with the widest valuation upside of any lens (about 1.6x to 9.5x). See how to calculate yours and steer with it.
Enterprise value vs equity value: the difference that costs founders millions
A buyer’s headline number and the cheque you actually take home are rarely the same. See how net debt turns enterprise value into equity value, and why knowing which one you hold is the difference between a credible number and one you cannot deliver.
Revenue multiple or EBITDA multiple: which one should you use?
Pick the wrong yardstick and the whole number is off. See which one fits your stage, and why 5.3x revenue and 29.3x EBITDA describe the very same companies.
Company valuation negotiation: why a range gives you more leverage than a number
A single number sounds like conviction, but it hands the buyer a target. See why a reasoned range sets your frame, and how it lets an offer land inside your numbers instead of against them.
