I doubt that YC measures their investment based on valuation. Imagine the companies they invested that had just the idea formed. How do you valuate that? Even in a stable business, valuation is still a bunch of guesses, how much future cash flow the company will generate, what will the investor opportunity cost be in X years, etc... I would think more of a bet instead of valuation when thinking of seed investment in a start-up. What I would say they do is standardize their bets, using their history and benchmarking theirs with other investors. YC's standard bet is around ~$20k for ~6% equity, that's all. |
