5 Signs Your Startup Actually Has Brand Value | HackerNoon
Briefly

Brand value is a measurable asset striving for defensible and durable characteristics. Certain indicators, such as a high proportion of revenue from repeat customers, imply brand equity. True brand value translates to economic metrics and must influence business outcomes such as pricing, customer retention, and market recognition. A brand cannot hold financial worth without legitimate legal protection. Without the ability to enforce brand ownership, it has no significance in a valuation context.
Brand value isn’t just a by-product of good execution. It’s a measurable asset only if it checks the boxes that make it defensible, durable, and differentiated.
Revenue stability is the single biggest economic case for brand value. A large share of your topline from repeat customers helps build brand equity.
If your revenue is one-time or ad-spend-dependent, you don’t have brand value. You have a campaign.
You cannot assign financial value to a brand you don’t legally control. If your brand cannot be enforced, it has no place in a valuation model.
