I want to ask about which methods to use when valuing a company.

I have experience with this, gotta say: how to do valuation depends on a few factors. Gather the data first, don't make emotional decisions.

another perspective: maybe the core issue with how to do valuation is something else entirely then think about it...

edit: I wrote something wrong above, sorry about that.

Same here. The only thing separating friendship from partnership is a written contract.

Proven by experience.

Exactly like that. Do a small three-month project before talking stocks, so you see each other.

When making a decision, first look at what data you have on hand. Of course, it varies if your situation is different.

Let me share what happened to me; it might be useful. Are you looking for a partner or a co-founder? They are two different things.

If you post the result here, it will help others too.

Let me share my experience. Don't hesitate to ask; those who don't ask always pay more.

Of course, it varies if your situation is different.

Quick summary for newcomers: Everything goes well for the first three months; problems arise in the fourth.

Solutions that work at a small scale collapse when you grow; I learned this late.

The answer above hits the nail on the head. If you don't write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later.

Most time waste accumulates in tasks waiting for approval. Just leaving this note, it might be useful.

There's a part I don't understand. If you don't write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later.

Just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's right. If you have questions, write them; I'll answer as best I can.

Let's separate the concepts they're getting mixed up. Hasty decisions become decisions you have to fix six months later.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

If I understood correctly, you're saying: If you're offering equity instead of salary, also state what you're offering in return.

Let me speak from the other side; I'm on the supplier side. If decision-making authority isn't defined, it causes daily issues, not just during exits.

This is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.
