## Description

This MCP is designed for accelerator managers and finance teams who need to quickly and accurately value their portfolio companies. It connects your AI agent to specialized financial models, moving beyond simple estimates. Instead of guessing, you'll get a data-driven assessment of a company's worth. You feed the AI client the company's profile—its stage, revenue, and growth metrics—and the MCP handles the heavy lifting. It doesn't just give you a number; it tells you *how* it arrived at that number, recommending the best valuation approach, like Scorecard or Comparable Multiples. This means you can compare companies fairly and confidently present a defensible valuation range to investors.

## Tools

### estimate_valuation_range
Use this tool to calculate a projected valuation range in USD. You provide the selected method and the company's financial inputs, and the MCP returns a concrete price estimate.

### get_industry_benchmarks
This tool retrieves standard valuation coefficients and multiplier ranges. You specify the asset type and stage, and the MCP delivers industry-specific benchmarks and volatility factors.

### select_valuation_method
This tool determines the most appropriate valuation methodology for a startup. You input the company's profile, and the MCP recommends the best approach, whether it's Scorecard, Multiples, or DCF.

## Capabilities

### Method Selection
The AI uses the MCP to identify the best valuation model (like Scorecard or DCF) based on the company's current stage and revenue.

### Benchmark Retrieval
You can get standard industry multipliers and volatility factors for specific asset types and company stages.

### Range Calculation
The MCP calculates a concrete, projected valuation range in USD using the selected method and financial inputs.

### Stage Assessment
The engine evaluates the company's profile to ensure the valuation method matches its growth trajectory.

### Financial Input Processing
The system processes key metrics like revenue and growth percentage to ground the valuation in real data.

## Use Cases

### Pre-Seed Company Valuation
You need to value a company with no revenue. The MCP recommends the Scorecard Method and provides a preliminary valuation range.

### Growth Stage Comparison
You are comparing two companies with similar growth rates. The MCP calculates and compares their estimated valuation ranges using their respective revenue figures.

### Market Due Diligence
Before valuing a new asset, you use the MCP to pull standard industry benchmarks, giving you a baseline for comparison.

### Methodology Check
You aren't sure if DCF or Comparable Multiples is better. The MCP analyzes the company profile and selects the optimal valuation method.

## Benefits

- Determines the statistically sound valuation methodology, ensuring your assessment is defensible.
- Provides concrete USD price ranges, giving investors clear, actionable valuation data.
- Retrieves industry-specific benchmarks, allowing you to compare companies against established market standards.

## How It Works

Connecting this MCP is simple. Your AI client connects to the Vinkius catalog, and you start by defining the company's profile. The MCP then guides you through selecting the right model and generating the final valuation range.

1. Connect your AI client to the Vinkius catalog and select this MCP.
2. Provide the company's core metrics (stage, revenue, growth) to the AI agent.
3. The MCP first uses the `select_valuation_method` tool to recommend the optimal approach.
4. Next, you use the `get_industry_benchmarks` tool to pull relevant market data.
5. Finally, the `estimate_valuation_range` tool calculates the concrete USD valuation range.
