21 Key Points In Start-Up Valuation

Thinking of raising funds for your start-up or generally, want to know how much your start-up is worth? Here are 20 (twenty) key points to note about start-up valuation;

1. There are divergent approaches to the valuation of start-ups depending on the maturity, the industry, and the progression of the start-ups.
2. For start-ups at the revenue stage, valuation adopts a more traditional quantitative approach and the focus is usually on scaling their operations.
3. For start-ups at pre-revenue (essentially developmental) stages, valuation as an art,¹ evaluates the market, the start-up ideas, as well as the people driving it. In other words, it focuses on vital assumptions rather than actuarial ones to gauge the start-up's potential.
