Chapter Chapter 11 in Startup Valuation, 2024, pp 433-522 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Innovative startups, characterized by high growth potential and minimal collateral, face unique valuation challenges due to their lack of operating history and uncertain futures. Traditional valuation methods like discounted cash flow and the Berkus Approach are adapted for startups by considering probabilistic scenarios and multiple exit strategies. These companies often turn to venture capital and private equity for funding, as they require significant liquidity early on. The technological focus of startups necessitates specialized valuation techniques, particularly for intellectual property and intangibles. Accurate valuation is critical, as it influences investment decisions, market success, and economic impact. This chapter explores innovative valuation methodologies tailored to startups, emphasizing their distinct characteristics and the dynamic market environment.
