eli5: angel investing discount rate

199 viewsOther

Please can someone explain to me what ‘discount rate’ is when angel investing?

For example, $6,000,000 business valuation, discount rate is 85%, with an investment of $16,000.

company evaluation x discount rate = effective company evaluation

(6,000,000 x 85%) = 5,100,000

investment / effective evaluation = ownership

16,000 / 5,100000 = 0.31% ownership

they do this to compensate for the risks
