Show Notes:
At What If Ventures we get asked this question all the time: “What is a fair VALUATION for my mental health Startup?”

I’ve summarized my thoughts on this topic based on 3 key efforts:
1) A recent investor survey of 150 mental health startup investors
2) Summary of public comps relevant to our space
3) Our insights into recent private market valuations / transactions
