But the E in P/E is earnings not sales, so this estimate is way too high. Better guess: start with 1x sales and adjust up or down based on how fast it's growing

But the E in P/E is earnings not sales, so this estimate is way too high. Better guess: start with 1x sales and adjust up or down based on how fast it's growing and how profitable you think they are. As far as public/private, if you haircut public company multiples by 10-15% you wouldn't be too far off.
