High Tech Startup Valuation Estimator
by Lost at 11:59 pm EDT, Aug 27, 2005

Wondering what your pre-money valuation will be if a VC ever puts a term sheet on the table? Valuing a startup is intrinsically different from valuing established companies. Because of the high level of risk and often little or no revenues, traditional quantitative valuation methods like P/E comparables or discounting free cash flows are of little use. Startup valuations are largely determined based on qualitative attributes.

We've been told by several investors that our valuation model produces reasonably good valuations. Of course, every situation is different, so your mileage may vary.

Answer the following 25 questions, and we'll calculate an approximate range for you. For each of the following questions, choose the answer that most closely describes your situation. If you don't know the answer, select the first choice.
