Frequently asked questions
Where do I find the average pre-money valuation?
Look at recent seed rounds for similar startups in your country and sector — angel network reports and the Pexonix funding feed are good starting points.
What does a 150% rating mean?
That you are 50% stronger than the typical comparable startup on that factor. 100% means average, 50% means clearly weaker.
Why is the team weighted most?
Before revenue, the team is the best predictor of execution, so Bill Payne's scorecard gives it 30%.
