How it works
Startup Valuation Calculator
Valuing an early-stage startup is both an art and a science. Unlike established businesses with predictable cash flows, startups are valued on potential, team quality, market size, and execution risk. The right valuation helps you raise funding at fair terms and avoid giving away too much equity.
This calculator supports four widely-used valuation methods: Revenue Multiple (best for SaaS and D2C), Berkus Scorecard (for pre-revenue startups), Bill Payne Scorecard (comprehensive factor-based), and Discounted Cash Flow (for startups with revenue projections). Each method produces a different pre-money valuation.
Switch between methods to compare results, adjust industry-specific parameters, and see how your funding ask translates into investor stake and founder dilution. The cap table breakdown shows you exactly what the post-money ownership looks like.
