Knowing your startup’s true worth is critical before you raise funds, issue ESOPs, or face audits.
We deliver independent, defensible, and investor-accepted startup valuations to help you negotiate with confidence.
Our team has worked on 300+ startup valuations across industries — from seed to Series A.
Why Startup Valuation Matters
Raising capital without a proper valuation is risky. Founders often:
- Give away too much equity due to under-valuation
- Scare off investors with unrealistic numbers
- Face delays during due diligence
- Struggle with ESOP pricing or tax compliance
A professional valuation builds trust and gives you leverage at the negotiation table.
