Valuation

We appreciate

Contractors open to negotiation on their valuation*

Speaking of price, the mistake that founders make (corresponding to investors focusing too much on downside terms) is focusing too much on getting a high price. I have seen many founders price out good investors and put the company in a bad situation facing a down round a year later, all because they were obsessed with getting a high sticker price for their company. I think it's because it gives founders something quantitative to compete on - Sam Altman Y Combinator
