Episode description

In practice, token launches are often delayed, and that can slow down the entire roadmap of a web3 project.

Once there’s a traded price for a token, it’s difficult to walk it back. Post-launch valuations are often magnitudes higher than pre-launch ones.

That’s why valuation reports have a limited shelf life, and why getting it right matters.

My guest is Neil Thakur, Managing Director and Founding Member at Teknos Associates, a crypto valuation & advisory firm.

If you’re in the middle of launching a token or structuring your SAFT with lawyers and advisors, this episode could help you avoid some costly mistakes.
