Before you connect
Questions about Startup Valuation Engine.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How does the Startup Valuation Engine help with VC deal flow?
It allows you to quickly turn pitch deck data into standardized valuation figures. You can run different models on dozens of companies in minutes to rank your deal flow.
Can I use the Startup Valuation Engine for my own startup?
Yes. Founders can use it to justify their asking price to investors by showing they've used industry-standard methods like Berkus or Scorecard.
What is a Berkus valuation?
It's a method for valuing early-stage startups based on milestones like building a prototype, management team, and product launch rather than just revenue.
How does the Scorecard method work?
It compares a startup to other similar companies in the same region. It weights factors like management, market size, and product to find a fair price.
Does the Startup Valuation Engine handle risk factors?
Yes, the Risk Summation capability specifically accounts for twelve different risk categories, including things like litigation risk and management experience.
Can I run multiple valuation types at once?
Absolutely. You can ask your agent to run a Berkus, Scorecard, and DCF valuation on the same set of data to see which model feels most accurate.
What is the Berkus method?
The Berkus method assigns a specific dollar value to key milestones achieved, such as a prototype or a strong management team, up to a maximum cap per milestone.
How does the Risk Factor Summation capability work?
It starts with a baseValuation and adjusts it by summing positive or negative amounts across twelve standard risk categories like Management Risk and Technology Risk.
Can I use this for DCF analysis?
Yes, the dcf_valuation capability allows you to input projected cash flows and a discount rate to estimate the present value of your startup's future earnings.
