It doesn&#x27;t have a price because it&#x27;s not for sale.<p>A value investor might say that a company&#x27;s worth is the net present value of its future revenue, but this formula typically undershoots the market capitalisation of enterprises. Given HN doesn&#x27;t have accounts and probably is a cost centre, it means the value of HN to YCombinator is hard to gauge and might be quite different to its value to a media company.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Value_investing" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Value_investing</a>
