Hey Hunters! We are @yaroslavazhnyuk and Alyona, co-founders of Fuelfinance. At Fuelfinance we make finance fun and sexy for all entrepreneurs💚 38% of startups die because of running out of cash. That is insane. Imagine we were throwing out 38% of food or any goods we produce. Fuel’s mission is to save companies from financial mistakes that should not have happened. If we succeed in that, we can not only save a good chunk of GDP, but for some people — save their life’s work and avoid a lot of personal drama. And today, we are proud to launch a very useful tool for all founders - our unique and easy Company Valuation Calculator based on an a16z article. Imagine that you can get your startup valuation just in a second, and be much more prepared for your next fundraising 💸 The story of creating this template started when Yaroslav tried to find a way to make a company valuation based on both revenue and profit margins. And then he discovered a brilliant article by a16z “When Entry Multiples Don’t Matter”. Just read this short part of it: "To determine possible exit values for later stage companies, tech growth investors often focus on two key and interconnected questions: (1) How long could this company grow at high rates; and (2) What will its margin structure be over time? And in fact, the answers to these questions — runway for high growth and long-term margin structure — will be key factors in how companies are valued" Firstly, we tested this idea on Petcube, Fuel’s customer. We started to check different what-if scenarios. And GSheet template made our calculations much faster and easier. As a result, the founders got an understanding of both valuation and multiples’ role in this valuation. Moreover, it was a clear snapshot of hardware and software revenue impact on a valuation📊 Finally, it was a good exercise for understanding target KPIs. Now, Petcube’s team uses this template during strategic sessions to choose projects with the highest impact on valuation. This template can help you and your team also focus on what really matters while playing with your figures to get the desired valuation. And it’s absolutely FREE for all Product Hunt community. Hope you will fall in love with the beautiful financial language after using our Calculator. We will be happy to answer all your questions and be your virtual CFO today🤓 Please let us know what you think, and may the PROFIT be with you💰

This is nice! Is there something for those who are pre-seed/ pre-metrics? How can we at what valuations are founders currently raising? Thanks!
Alyona Mysko
@roberjet From my experience, it's better to get 10–20 calls with investors, show them your product, traction, and ask about the average valuation of other companies in their portfolios with the same metrics. From All-in podcast and information by David Sacks average Seed valuation was $8-15M 3-4 months ago.

Also, we've been actively using this calculator to prioritize product features. For many companies - capitalization is the north star metric. Please, let us know if you evaluate feature's influence on company's capitalization when prioritizing your roadmap.

Good luck with PH, Guys! PS: could you please help with the evaluation of our startup deepcake.io? :)
Alyona Mysko
@alexander_shatalin If I understand correctly from your website, deepcake.io is a B2B professional agency. In such a case, it's better to use another approach. You can schedule a call with me on our website. I will be happy to share best practice from my experience.
