Whose company is worth more?
So I was having this slight argument with a friend the other day… and I thought it was interesting to share.
Company A
Raised $100m+, has 100+ employees, and took over 10 years to break even. But for the last few years makes a monthly profit that averages <$5k/month and hasn’t really grown.
And they don’t really have any assets that are of any real value.
Company B
Is a simple service agency.
Raised nothing, has 3 founder/employees, and was profitable immediately to the tune of $10k/month.
They’re also growing at 50%+ per year.
Fact of the matter is… Company B is worth a SHITLOAD more than Company A.
Regardless of what the founders of Company A want to deceive themselves into thinking.
