How do I decide how much equity to trade for funding?
-
I have a niche book publishing start-up with 3-year projected revenue of $4mm. We are using family and friends to raise $400k funding, and finding it difficult. I have a single investor willing to give the $400k for 10% equity. 5-year projection is $7mm. Is a straight 10% of 3-year projected revenue an adequate formula for equity exchange? We're lifelong publishers and confident with the projections, but there are 4 principles reticent to give up 10%.
