Abstract: Abstract Valuing deep-tech startups and scaleups requires a nuanced approach, recognizing their potential for significant technological innovation and industry disruption. These ventures, often founded on groundbreaking scientific advancements, face extended development timelines and substantial capital needs. Traditional valuation methods like Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and market comparables are often insufficient for capturing the full value of these high-risk, high-reward startups. Instead, an integrated approach, considering technological innovation, intellectual property strength, market potential, and team expertise, is not just beneficial but essential. This chapter explores the complexities of deep-tech valuation, providing a framework that investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers can use to make informed decisions, ultimately fostering the growth and success of these transformative startups and scaleups.
