HOW THE NUMBER IS SET

Why one firm gets $180K and another with more data gets $1.4M

Deals land between $100K and $2M, and the spread is not about size. Four things move a record up the range, and none of them is how many gigabytes it occupies.

HOW A PRICE IS ARRIVED AT

Reviewed first, because a number before looking is a guess

  1. 01

    Six questions

    What the firm runs on and for how long. Enough to know whether a review is worth anyone's time.

  2. 02

    A bounded review

    We look at the record against those four factors. Days rather than weeks, because scope is defined up front.

  3. 03

    A number we will stand behind

    Because we reviewed first, the figure does not move later. Typically $100K to $2M.

  4. 04

    Papered and paid

    Agreed within a week of the first conversation, paid Net 30 to 60 once the data is approved, shared, and anonymized.

WHO RUNS THE REVIEW

Diligence by people who have underwritten their own deals

“Nearly three years at McKinsey, then bought a company outright and scaled it to $50M through two bolt-on acquisitions.”
Zak KuzbariPartner
“Built Simplicity Solar to $35M in three years and sold it, on systems he designed himself.”
Ryan LockPartner
