Keeping you focused on unlocking investment
Funding Mastermind brings together founders who are actively negotiating and closing a funding round, providing you with tools, advice and community support as you negotiate with investors and get your deal over the line.
In addition to the fortnightly meetups, members of Funding Mastermind gain access to tools to inform and support your negotiations with investors.
Compiling a valuation for your funding round
Equidam support founders in compiling a valuation for their funding round by answering a series of questions that estimate the value of your startup. The platform then provides a valuation report that provides an overall valuation, breaks down the valuation by valuation method and explores elements that might increase – or decrease – your valuation. The reports are simple to understand and can be shared with investors to facilitate valuation negotiations.
Valuation benchmark data
The Benchmark Assessment reviews key aspects of your investment opportunity and compares this with other startups raising at a similar stage and in the same sector, giving you an indication of the relative appeal of your deal vis-a-vis other deals that investors may be looking at.
Particularly useful is the benchmark data around valuation which allows you to judge whether your proposed valuation is in the right range to attract investors.
