How do you deal with the valuation gap between founders and investors?
One of the most challenging aspects of raising funds for your startup is agreeing on a valuation with potential investors. Valuation is the process of estimating the worth of your business based on various factors, such as market size, traction, growth potential, and risk. However, founders and investors often have different perspectives and expectations on how to value a startup, leading to a valuation gap that can make or break a deal. How do you deal with this gap and negotiate a fair valuation for both parties? Here are some tips to help you navigate this crucial stage of your fundraising journey.
