My fund model is coming in really high multiples. I am suspicious. Have sent to my team for additional layers of extreme validation and scrutiny but I’m afraid to put these numbers in the deck until I can really really defend them. Does anyone else have this issue? I feel tempted to pull some standard off the shelf numbers and put them in for now until we can validate these further and I feel more solid in them…but they’d be wrong. Thoughts?
Don’t do that. You’re not doing this for VC Lab, you’re doing this for your Firm.
Do this instead - create 3 scenarios: high, medium, low Then, add a multiplier on your model and play around with a few scenarios that fit the categories that I mentioned above.
