Differentiation Restful Revenue Valuation 
Startup Professionals Musings

In startups, it is the idea that “this solution is different,” without sufficient analysis of base anchoring features, differentiation features, or no new early adopters. High valuation, low profit. The focus should always be on execution, revenue, and profits. Supply and demand ignored.

Valuation is a nebulous topic amongst early stage startups, so I thought I’d really spell it out in detail. In short: Valuations for seed stage companies are fairly arbitrary and driven solely by supply and demand. Your startup’s valuation is not based on a proforma of your revenue.

Valuations are Down. In the public markets public SaaS valuations (EV/Revenue) are down 33% since January and 66% since their high in January 2014. There’s an increased focus on key metrics – especially those core metrics that drive the spend/growth curve such as LTV/CAC and months to pay back CAC.

We like those things in the same way as the rest of the industry. I think we differ a little from the rest of the industry, though, particularly with our focus on early stage companies. Maybe they’ll pivot to something great eventually, but in the interim period, the valuation goes sideways – and that’s not a good place for a VC to be.
