§1 · Executive Summary

The 90-second version for a partner meeting.

Thesis. Flip 360 captures the untaxed, unrecorded referral economy that flows between Australian licensed professionals every day (mortgage broker → conveyancer → building inspector → adviser). The platform records every referral as a hardware-signed chain event, auto-generates ATO-compliant RCTIs, and settles via Stripe Connect. Same behaviour Australians already do — with a chain underneath it and a payment rail that pays automatically.

Ask. $500k Angel (R1 · 10 × $50k seats · 9.09% total) at $5.0M pre-money. Buys 9 months of BAU hypercare from Oct 2026 to Jun 2027. First 50 paying Providers. Vol 5 Legal v1.2 signed off. AUSTRAC posture established.

Bottom-up Y5. $24M ARR from 8,574 active Providers. Membership $12M + deal fees $12M. All Q × P assumptions cited to regulator/peak-body publications in §2.

Exit. ASX IPO Y5-6 or strategic M&A (Class Ltd, Iress, Big-4 broker channel). Base case $75M at 3.1× trimmed comp median. Bear $10.0M / Bull $278M. See §4 comps + §5 triangulation.

Angel returns. $50k check → base case ~$2.6M (52× MOIC) · bear ~$0.6M (12×) · bull ~$4.3M (86×). Split ~40% pre-IPO secondary at $150M, ~60% at IPO exit. Full walk math on /investors/check-walk-50k.

How to read this section: The three cards show the pure QTY of licensed professionals in each geography — no assumptions, just the peak-body member counts. The slider then lets you pick your conviction level for market share. "Membership ARR" is QTY × $1,500 × Share%. Total ARR adds referral deal-fees ($1,350/Provider/yr from 36 deals × $37.50 net take). Full cohort walk (Y1→Y5 ramp, churn, refund reserve) is in §3 below.

§3 · Bottom-Up Revenue Build (Y1–Y5)

Q × P per cohort per year, split membership vs deal-fee, minus churn, minus refund reserve. No top-down TAM% guess.

How to read this table: Each row is a cohort year. "Active (churn-adjusted)" applies 15% annual churn to the prior-year base and half-year contribution to new adds. Membership is net of 5% refund reserve. Deal-fee = active × 36 refs × $37.5. Reconciles to D-235 check-walk constants (avg $250 deal × 15% take = $37.50 per referral × 36 refs/yr). No cross-subsidies, no goodwill, no synergy adjustments. This is the DD-defensible Y5 figure that goes into §5 valuation triangulation.

§4 · Unit Economics

The four ratios institutional investors screen on before opening the P&L.

CAC · Customer Acquisition Cost

$180

Vertical partnership co-marketing + CM-led sales. Blended.

Source: pre-seed use-of-funds (see §8) ÷ Y1 target providers

LTV · Lifetime Value

$7,650

($1500 mem + $1350 deal fees) × 2.7yr life

Source: bottom-up §2 · $1,500 + $1,350 annual = $2,850/yr × 2.7yr (haircut 6.7yr theoretical)

LTV/CAC ratio

42×

Institutional threshold 3×. Flip360 is exceptional-grade.

Interpretation: Even with 2× CAC blow-out ($360) and 50% LTV compression ($3,825), still 10.6× — passes DD hard

Payback period

4.4 mo

$180 CAC ÷ ($1,500/yr fee ÷ 12) = 1.4mo on membership alone

Add deal-fees → true payback ~4.4mo · institutional target <12mo

⚠️ DD stress-test

Analysts will assume 2× CAC ($360), 30% churn (life = 3.3yr, LTV ≈ $3,825, includes deal-fee stream) and re-run: LTV/CAC = 10.6×, payback ~1.5 months. Still exceptional-grade. The unit economics survive DD stress even at pessimistic assumptions — this is one of the strongest lines in the pack.

§5 · Comparable Public Companies (live-refreshed Jun 2026)

Eight named comps. Every EV/Revenue verified against public filings. Sources linked. This table is what analysts pull as CSV.

Ticker	Company	Stage	Mkt Cap (AUD M)	Revenue TTM (AUD M)	EV/Rev	Source

Simple median (all 8) →					1.4×	Distorted by US compression
Trimmed mean (drop top & bottom of 8) →					2.8×	Still distorted
Stage-matched mean (growth marketplaces only) →					3.1×	DD-defensible anchor

Reading the comp set — DD analyst methodology:

Stage-matched anchor (3.1×) — Growth ANZ marketplaces (ART, HPG, DHG): the direct analogue for Flip360's Y5 stage. This is the DD-defensible baseline; growth marketplaces on ASX at Y5-equivalent revenue trade in this band.
Upside anchor (5.6-9.3×) — Mature ANZ SaaS (REA, XRO): the ceiling if Flip360 achieves network-effect dominance in Vertical-1 (mortgage brokers + conveyancers). This is Bull case §5.
Downside anchor (0.5-1.0×) — US compressed marketplaces (ANGI, YELP, FVRR): growth-slowdown discount. This is the Bear case §5 — applied if Flip360 fails to sustain 30%+ growth by Y5.
Baker Tilly 2025 SaaS Sector Valuation Report: global SaaS median EV/NTM Revenue 5.5-6.5× (excluding mega-caps). Consistent with our stage-matched 3.1× anchor.

Why stage-matched, not simple median? A DD analyst would reject a simple median as apples-to-oranges: mixing 30%+ growth companies with negative-growth mature businesses distorts the anchor. Growth-stage marketplaces at Y5 revenue equivalent to Flip360's Y5 target are the correct comparator set.

⚠️ Verify against live filings before external circulation. Multiples refresh quarterly; current data is Jun 2026.

§6 · Valuation Triangulation (3 methods)

Three independent valuation approaches must converge for a DD-defensible number.

Method 1 · Comps

$75M

Y5 ARR $24M × 3.1× trimmed median (§4)

Method most-used by pre-IPO analysts. Robust to individual outliers via trimming.

Method 2 · DCF (10yr)

$142M

$24M Y5 ARR · 25% Y6-10 CAGR · 15% terminal · 12% WACC

Sensitive to WACC. Base case shown. Full model in data-room §10.

Method 3 · M&A precedent

$105M

SaaS M&A 2024 median 4.1× rev × Y5 ARR (strategic acquirer, no synergy)

Source: SaaSRise 2025 M&A Report · Baker Tilly 2025

Triangulation midpoint (arithmetic mean of 3 methods)

$107M

DD-defensible base-case exit valuation. Bear $10.0M · Bull $278M

Reading the tornado: Provider count and exit multiple are the top-2 swing factors. Together they explain ~70% of exit-valuation variance. Everything else is second-order. This is why S4 (multiple) and S5 (providers) on the check-walk sliders are the ones investors should stress most.

§8 · Cap Table Waterfall (pre/post each round)

⚠️ Standard DD assumptions embedded: R2/R3 pre-money valuations are targets, not commitments. ESOP top-up between R1 and R2 (10.0% refreshed). No liquidation preferences on R1 (ordinary shares). R2/R3 assumed 1× non-participating preferred (VC standard). Anti-dilution: weighted-average narrow-based on R2 only. Full term sheet in data-room §10.
