Assuming there's no meaningful traction, the biggest factors would be the market condition (bull vs bear startup funding market) and the team composition

For a pre-product, pre-traction team, valuation is almost completely arbitrary, i.e. a made up number - the biggest driver in this case would be "market rates" or "comps"

If you're great at coding, you can build an MVP yourself If you're OK at coding, it still helps you communicate with real engineers At a minimum, you can learn Figma mockups, Framer, Bubble, or Flutterflow
