Startup Valuation Methods We Apply
We use a combination of established startup valuation frameworks to arrive at a fair and defensible value. The method selected depends on the startup’s stage, business model, data availability, and investment objective ensuring the valuation reflects economic reality rather than assumptions alone.
Berkus Method
Assesses value based on qualitative factors such as idea strength, management capability, technology, and market readiness—commonly used for very early-stage startups.
Venture Capital Method
Estimates valuation by working backward from expected exit value and target investor returns, widely used for fundraising rounds.
Risk Factor Summation Method
Adjusts a base valuation by evaluating key business risks including market, technology, competition, and execution.
Cost-to-Duplicate Method
Calculates valuation based on the cost required to recreate the business’s assets and capabilities from scratch.
Scorecard Valuation Method
Benchmarks the startup against comparable companies, adjusting valuation based on team strength, traction, market size, and product maturity.
Book Value Method
Derives value from the company’s net asset position, typically used where tangible assets dominate.
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Method
Values the startup based on projected future cash flows discounted to present value, suitable for startups with predictable revenue models.
Comparable Company Method
Determines value by comparing valuation multiples of similar startups or transactions within the same industry.
Valuation by Stage Method
Assigns value ranges based on the startup’s development stage—from concept to revenue-generating and scaling phases.
How Our Startup Valuation Services Work
Valuing a startup in today’s Indian market requires more than a single formula. Our approach blends stage-appropriate valuation frameworks, analytical discipline, and regulatory alignment to deliver valuations that are credible, defensible, and investor-ready.
1. Stage-Appropriate Valuation Frameworks
We select valuation methodologies based on the startup’s lifecycle and availability of reliable data.
Pre-Revenue Stage: Berkus Method, Scorecard Method, and Risk Factor Summation to assess qualitative drivers and execution risk.
Early Revenue / Growth Stage: Venture Capital (VC) Method combined with market and transaction multiples.
Revenue-Generating / Mature Stage: Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) supported by comparable company and transaction analysis.
2. Emphasis on Quality of Metrics
Modern startup valuations focus on sustainability and scalability, not just growth. We assess unit economics, margins, customer acquisition cost versus lifetime value (CAC vs LTV), churn, cash runway, and the pathway to profitability to ensure realistic and defendable valuation outcomes.
3. Advisory-Led Execution
- Reports compliant with Indian regulations including the Companies Act, FEMA, and SEBI guidelines
- Valuation support for fundraising, mergers & acquisitions, share transfers, ESOPs, and restructuring
- Documentation suitable for audits, investor due diligence, and regulatory review
4. Transparency and Defensibility
Every valuation is supported by clearly documented assumptions, including discount rates, probability weightings, and market benchmarks. We conduct sensitivity and stress testing across multiple scenarios to ensure robustness under varying conditions.
In India, defensible valuations are critical for regulatory events such as equity issuance, strategic transactions, and exits. Our approach delivers not just the valuation outcome, but the reasoning behind it—building confidence among investors, boards, and regulators.
