      the entrepreneur’s initial valuation was £1.7M
      the dragons’ offer (at 40%) effectively valued the whole business at £637,500

      The point of evaluating the company assets is to offset risk... meaning if it all goes South then they're not left with paying for losses. It's all maths and James was quite clear on his arithmetic. The dude 'agreed' to the terms insincerely, he had no intention of sticking to the terms, he was essentially messing them about.

    3 dragons for 60% equity all at the same time would be too much for any founder. They will eventually butt heads with each other if the business takes off. Better to allocate that equity to passionate cofounders who will actually work and grow your business with you on a daily basis and then dilute your shares later when the time comes for more capital.

    anytime I listen to one of these pitches, the first thing I do is punch their numbers into my calculator to figure out the entrepreneur’s proposed valuation.
    the quickest way to do it is cross-multiplication - you multiply the amount requested by 100, and then divide it by the percentage of equity on offer. so for this pitch, it would be:
    amt requested - £255,000
    equity offered - 15%
    255,000✖️100 🟰 25,500,000
    25,500,000➗15 🟰 1,700,000
    and so the entrepreneur is valuing his business at £1.7M
    if he had accepted the dragons’ offer, it would have effectively valued his business at £637,500
