DESCRIPTION

If you are a CEO or a CFO of a high growth startup, it is vital to understand how to value your company correctly. Here is a quick list of questions this lunch will help you answer: Do you offer or are you planning to offer your employees stock options? Do you know the difference between ISOs and non-ISOs? Do you understand the general valuation concepts and approaches that the IRS has outlined, especially as they apply to early-stage companies? Did you know that if you run afoul of the 409A rules, your employees could have an unpleasant tax surprise and that some of that responsibility could revert back to you as the employer? Do you know if and when you need to engage an outside expert to assist with a valuation? This is a limited seat lunch to teach issues of valuation for equity compensation and ask specific questions about your company. Experts: - Alicia Amaral, Scalar Analytics - Scott Goodwin, Wolf & Company

Venture  Capital  Method  

Determine  the  •  Investor’s  required  rate  of  return  (ROI),  and  

• Terminal  Value  (TV)  

Work  backwards  to  get  valua,on  (Post  $)    

TV  can  be  either  exit  or  next  round  14

Page 15: Know your valuation for equity compensation and avoid the perils of 409a

VC  Method  Example  

•  TV  based  on  es,mated  revenues  and/or  Net  Income  in  terminal  year  

•  Example:    –  Es,mated  revenue  in  Year  5  is  $40M  –  Average  mul,plier  for  industry  =  2  –  So  your  es,mated  value  of  the  company  at  the  end  of  year  5  ,  or  TV  =  $40M  *  2  =  $80M  

 *Note:    Can  also  es,mate  TV  based  on  Net  Income  and  apply  average  P/E  mul,ples  

15

Page 16: Know your valuation for equity compensation and avoid the perils of 409a

VC  Method  Example  

•  ROI  •  Say  I  sell  an  investment  for  $100M  that  I  purchased  for  $20M.  What’s  my  ROI?  

•  Answer:  $100M  /  20M  =  5x  •  Same  as  TV/Post$  =  ROI  •  To  solve  for  Post$:  Post$  =  TV/ROI  

16

Page 17: Know your valuation for equity compensation and avoid the perils of 409a

VC  Method  Example  

•  Say  in  our  example  that  investor  needs  a  20X  ROI  •  Post  $  =  TV/ROI  •  Post  $  =  $80M  /  20  •  Post  $  =  $4,000,000
