The textbook approach is that you create a financial model with projections for, say, 5 years. You calculate your margins, then your free cash flow. Then using DCF method you calculate discounted cashflows and terminal value of the company. Then you take expected a return (IRR) for the investor, which is about 80-100% at such an early stage and discount the result back. That's how you will get the value of the company.
