I'm excited to show you Equidam's new Valuation Delta tool, a suite of benchmarks designed to enable fairer and more transparent early stage equity deals. The intention is to reduce the information asymmetry with early stage fundraising, giving founders and investing a better chance at having a shared vision.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on the tool, especially from founders that been through valuation negotiatons.
TL;DR - digital adoption means rapid growth is now easier in more industries and product categories, allowing for more aggressive revenue projections across the board.
You want to monetize video content? Guess what the best platform to do that is? YouTube.
I don't know why you would even consider building your own competing platform when YouTube is right there waiting and offers everything you need. There are countless examples of strong businesses that have grown out of publishing YouTube video content.
If you really believe there is a niche for the content, then this development hasn't changed that at all. If anything it just pivots you away from the silly idea of building a platform, toward the real value of the offering.
I realize it's not as 'sexy' just to publish YouTube videos, but it's a far more sensible approach.
