How this calculator works

Four methods, weighted to your stage

Early stages lean on the Scorecard method, later stages on revenue and EBITDA multiples and a discounted cash flow. Each method is weighted by your funding stage and blended into one expected figure.

What each input actually means

Funding stage
Where you are in the journey. Early stages lean on qualitative signals, later stages lean on financial multiples and cash flow.
Industry
Sets the revenue and EBITDA multiples we apply. SaaS and fintech command higher multiples than services or consumer.
Annual revenue (ARR)
Your recurring, annualised revenue. Use run-rate ARR, not one-off project income. Enter 0 for a pre-revenue valuation.
Year-on-year growth
How fast revenue is growing. Beating the 40 percent sector norm lifts your multiple, growing slower pulls it down.
EBITDA margin
Operating profit as a share of revenue. It feeds the EBITDA method and your DCF cash flows, and can be negative while you burn.
Scorecard factors
How your team, market and traction stack up against typical peers at your stage. This is the heart of early-stage valuation.
Benchmarks

How investors read valuation

A quick guide to what drives the number at each stage, and how to frame it.

Pre-revenue: it is about the team
With no revenue, the Scorecard method leads. Team, market size and early traction against stage benchmarks set the number.
Seed to Series A: multiples take over
As ARR grows, revenue and EBITDA multiples carry more weight, scaled by how fast you are growing versus the sector norm.
Growth is the biggest lever
Beating the 40 percent growth benchmark lifts your multiple; growing slower pulls it down, within a sensible band.
Always present a range
A defensible band backed by method and benchmark lands far better with investors than a single precise-looking figure.
