I have an idea, when I meet venture capitals, they told me my startup valuation is too high. How do I put a valuation to my startup?

If you are talking about seed stage startups & earlier,

Valuation is approximately the Costs of a Competitor to replicate you X PE Ratio in your Industry.

Valuation:

  • Cost to hire a team / technology to replicate your product.
  • Cost to acquire your current usersbase
  • Brand value / News value / Exposure value
  • Total revenue generated
  • Partners value / contracts value / mentors value
  • Free will / in-kind costs (those who worked for free)

Take that sum, multiply with X  PE Ratio in your industry = Your Valuation

Your have to know your industry & numbers well  in order to raise funds.
