Qualitative methods
Scorecard Method: RM 33,606,803
This method was conceived by William H. Payne of Ohio TechAngels group and endorsed by the Ewing Marion Kauffman
Foundation. The valuation of the startup depends on how different this is from the assumed average of a set of comparable
companies from the same region.
Startups’ qualitative traits are divided in 6 criteria, compared with the assumed traits of the average company, and given a
score according to whether it over- or under-performs the assumed average company. These scores are multiplied by
weights that represent the impact of the criteria on the valuation. The sum of these weighted scores multiplied by the
average valuation leads to the company’s valuation.

Checklist Method: RM 25,033,964


The creator of the method is Dave Berkus, one of the most prominent Californian angel investors. The valuation of the startup
consists of intangible building blocks that sum up to the assumed maximum valuation.
The maximum valuation is split in 5 criteria according to their weight. The startup obtains portions of these maximum criteria
valuations according to how close its qualitative traits are to the most desirable ones. Their sum is the startup valuation.

VC Method
Pre-money Valuation: RM 995,658
The VC (Venture Capital) method is one of most common approaches among financial practitioners in the private company
market. The startup is given the valuation that will grant investors a predetermined return at the exit.
The potential exit value of the company is computed with an industry-based EBITDA multiple. The valuation is equal to this
value discounted by a required ROI (Return On Investment). This depends on the startup’s stage of development, higher for
early stage riskier companies, lower for more mature ones. It is the minimum rate that will allow investors to have positive
returns from portfolios where most companies fail and gains come from a selected few.

DCF Methods
The DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) methods represent the most renown approach to company valuation, recommended by
academics and a daily tool for financial analysts. The valuation is the present value of all the free cash flows to equity the
startup is going to generate in the future, discounted by its risk.
These methods weight the projected free cash flow to equity by the probability the startup will survive. Then, the flows are
discounted to present by a rate that represents risks related to industry, size, development stage and profitability. Lastly, an
illiquidity discount is applied to the sum of the discounted cash flows to compute the valuation.
The value of cash flows beyond the projected ones is represented by the TV (Terminal Value) and the way it is calculated is
the difference between the following two methods.

DCF with LTG: RM 12,342,909


The DCF with LTG (Long Term Growth) assumes the cash flows beyond the projected ones will grow forever at a constant
rate based on the industry and computes the TV accordingly.

DIET IDEAS SDN BHD Valuation Report

Appendix
Weights of the methods
The default weight of each method is determined by Equidam based on the stage of development, and they are shown below.
They can be manually adjusted by the company.

Default weights of the 5 methods

Stage of development Checklist Method Scorecard Method VC Method DCF with LTG DCF with Multiples

Idea stage 38% 38% 16% 4% 4%

Development stage 30% 30% 16% 12% 12%

Star tup stage 15% 15% 16% 27%* 27%

Expansion stage 6% 6% 16% 36% 36%

DIET IDEAS SDN BHD stage of development: Star tup stage

These are determined according to the following principles:

• Qualitative information is more important in early stage companies, where performance uncertainty is extremely high, so
qualitative methods are weighted in more

• The investors' view is equally important across all stages, so the weight of the VC method does not change

• Quantitative information is more reliable in later stages, when a company already has a proven financial track record.
Therefore, it is possible to use the DCF methods more extensively as projected results get founded in past performance
