We performed a valuation of a start-up company’s tokens. A token is a financial instrument resembling a call option that can be issued to people who have contributed to the company’s success. The token gives its holder a claim to a share of the proceeds if the company’s equity is sold, while it does not give the token holder the right of ownership or voting rights over the company. In our valuation, we used a combined approach, where the value of the tokens was based on the option pricing methodology as well as on the scorecard valuation method for start-ups, considering both quantitative and qualitative factors.
