How do you value RSUs of pre-IPO companies? Should you value based on share price of last funding round or imply some share price for growth since the last round?

Recruiter quoted me $50 per share but last funding round in Q1 was $30 per share.

    Why, can't we figure out from web like equityzen and fair value can be around 80% of that?

  • Ideally, around the strike price at which they issue options .
    Another point to consider, when you leave startup , how much time you have to exercise options ? . If it's few days then you have to pay number of options * strike price amount to company to own those shares . So think if you would like to pay from your pocket at time of exercise and no immediate liquidation even in sight .
