What percent of company do you expect in return. YC has a pretty deterministic formula. Do you have a similar formula? Or do you decide (or negotiate) on a case-by-case basis
It is truly amazing how bankers always get away with this kind of incompetent non-sense. Every single time a stock sees a "jump", it is because those "analysts" did a poor job in evaluating stock price. And company going IPO is leaving money on the table, which is stolen by those greedy (too polite a term for bankers) bankers.
