Decision and milestone framing
Connect the valuation question to the amount being raised, the operating runway, and the milestone the round is intended to reach.
Startup valuation service
Startup valuations for fundraising, planning, and investor conversations.
Turn early-stage assumptions into a structured valuation range, sensitivity case, and memo that founders and investors can discuss.
What this can include
- Revenue and margin scenario model
- DCF and market-multiple framing
- Runway and financing need context
- Investor-ready valuation memo
Service fit
Useful when a fundraising decision needs more than one headline number.
The work starts with the financing question: how much capital is needed, what milestones it should fund, which operating assumptions support the range, and what ownership may be exchanged.
- Pre-seed, seed, or early growth fundraising preparation
- Pre-money and post-money valuation framing
- Round-size, runway, and milestone planning
- Founder and investor scenario discussions
- Dilution and ownership sensitivity
- Internal planning before a formal fundraising process
Information and evidence
Information availability shapes scope and confidence.
Start with a short description of the situation. Confidential files are not needed until scope and handling expectations have been agreed.
- Company stage, product, market, and business model
- Historical revenue, users, or traction where available
- Revenue, margin, hiring, and cash-burn assumptions
- Fundraising target and intended use of proceeds
- Current ownership and option-pool context where relevant
- Relevant market or transaction evidence
Analytical approach
Methods are selected to clarify the decision, evidence, and uncertainty.
Not every engagement includes every workstream. The relevant analysis depends on the purpose, information quality, timing, and agreed output depth.
Downside, base, and upside cases
Make uncertain growth, conversion, pricing, margin, and hiring assumptions visible rather than hiding them inside one forecast.
Market and revenue-multiple context
Use relevant evidence as a framing tool while explaining comparability, timing, and the limits of early-stage market data.
DCF where appropriate
Use cash-flow valuation selectively when the forecast horizon and operating evidence are strong enough to make the method informative.
Ownership and dilution
Bridge pre-money value, round size, post-money value, investor ownership, and founder dilution before transaction-specific adjustments.
Written findings and caveats
Explain the range, evidence, sensitivities, limitations, and the additional information that would improve confidence.
Potential outputs
Outputs are scoped to the decision and evidence available.
Assumption review
Depth, format, timing, assumptions, and limitations are confirmed before substantive work begins.
Base, upside and downside range
Depth, format, timing, assumptions, and limitations are confirmed before substantive work begins.
Dilution and runway notes
Depth, format, timing, assumptions, and limitations are confirmed before substantive work begins.
Valuation summary or memo
Depth, format, timing, assumptions, and limitations are confirmed before substantive work begins.
Scope boundary
A startup valuation is normally a reasoned range, not a guaranteed financing price. Actual terms depend on negotiation, investor demand, structure, option pools, convertibles, SAFEs, rights, timing, and other transaction details.
FAQ
Questions before requesting startup valuations.
Can a pre-revenue startup be valued?
Yes, but the work relies more heavily on milestones, market evidence, financing context, scenario logic, and transparent judgement than on historical cash flow.
Is a single startup valuation number reliable?
A range is usually more decision-useful. Downside, base, and upside cases expose how assumptions affect the result.
Does the valuation include dilution?
It can. Fundraising work can connect pre-money value, round size, post-money value, investor ownership, founder ownership, and runway.
What information is useful before requesting a review?
Useful inputs include the company stage, market, revenue or user traction, forecast assumptions, fundraising target, use of proceeds, current ownership where relevant, and the decision the analysis should support.
Is the free calculator a formal startup valuation?
No. It is a browser-based planning tool. An analyst-reviewed engagement can test the inputs, evidence, scenario range, dilution, and limitations in greater depth.
