How do I know how much a company is worth and how many shares it has? Is there some public source where I can look up for this information?
Startup job offers usually just give you how much stock they're offering you but without any information to see how much it's really worth
- freerobby 14y agoYou can request an offer that specifies your stock options as a percentage of the company. You won't know what it's worth now, but 1) honest founders will tell you, and 2) either way, you'll be able to do the math on what it would be worth in varying exit scenarios.
- andyjsong 14y agoThis is not a sure bet, but just ask about their latest funding round and how much they got and how much of a percentage they gave to the investors. For example, Company X just closed a 1 million dollar Series A and gave up 50% equity. That means the company is valuated @ $2 million.
- andrew311 14y agoAside from asking about internal company details such as financing valuations, you should also do research on similar companies that are a bit more mature. Find out details on their financings, revenue, exits, etc. It'll give you some idea of what could happen.
