Might be a dumb math question. Is there a mental shortcut to calculate the total value of a company based on % equity and $$ ask when it’s not a clean fraction? (E.g,. SharkTank pitch)

Remember multiples to get to 100%. In the 7% example I know that if it was 8% it would be roughly 12x (1.2m) and if it was 6% it would be roughly 16x (1.6m) so you can ballpark it to 1.4 pretty quick

Thank you!! Very helpful

Dividing fractions, as easy as pie,
Flip the second fraction, then multiply.

For example, if the company is asking $100k for 10% the mental math to get the total valuation is pretty easy, but is there a way to quickly do the same math if the valuation is not as clean, like 25% or 7% equity ask for $100k? I can write out the entire algebraic expression, but curious if there’s an easier way to get the answer

I think you’re thinking about it wrong IBM

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
