Implied valuation math

Asking price$3,500

= implied valuation$8,750

Paying $3,500 for 40% values the whole business at $8,750. That is roughly $88 per percentage point of ownership.

What this stake conveys

Above one third you generally hold blocking power over supermajority actions — recapitalizations, sale of the company, and charter changes — without day-to-day control.

Verified before listing

The founder attested to owning at least 40% and uploaded ownership evidence (cap table, operating agreement, or equivalent). Timber reviews entity standing and authority to sell before a listing goes live. Stake sale to fund the second campus build-out.
