- When it comes to reward-based crowdfunding, while these don’t establish an equity price which can be considered a direct comparable, they serve a very important role in market validation of the execution and scalability of the business model. Price points, customer traction, sales funnel, order fulfillment, and other critical information can be gleaned from a rewards-based campaign and incorporated in the next iteration of the product, or serve as validation of key business model assumptions.Since many valuations of pre-revenue startups rely on key performance indicators (KPI) and not on financial fundamentals, KPI validation is critical in building investor confidence and can indirectly impact valuations and funding(ESOP) where stock options are issued to early employees and investors with very low exercise prices, which are set to equal the price of common stock at the time the options are issued. The equity prices flowing through crowdfunding platforms will create a new set of early stage valuation comparables, data that have largely been missing from the public eye before. This can potentially have huge implications on the pricing of ESOP plans, particularly in the early stages.Read more at http://venturebeat.com/2013/10/08/crowdfunding-101-dont-forget-to-protect-your-idea/#SYYEMlRC8xvTg4s5.99Read more at http://venturebeat.com/2013/10/08/crowdfunding-101-dont-forget-to-protect-your-idea/#SYYEMlRC8xvTg4s5.99When it comes to reward-based crowdfunding, while these don’t establish an equity price which can be considered a direct comparable, they serve a very important role in market validation of the execution and scalability of the business model.
