Most founders learn their valuation from the first investor who quotes one — which is exactly the wrong person to learn it from. We build an independent view using the methods investors themselves use: comparable companies, recent transactions, and a discounted view of where your numbers are heading. The output is a range you can defend, not a wish.
Valuation is only half the conversation. The term sheet is where real value moves — liquidation preferences, option-pool timing, anti-dilution, board control. We translate the clauses into plain consequences for your ownership and your future rounds, and flag the ones worth holding the line on versus the ones that are not worth the fight.
You walk in knowing your number, knowing the terms, and knowing where you can give and where you must not. That is the difference between accepting a deal and negotiating one.
