Abstract

This chapter considers the challenging, yet exciting world of valuing companies. Valuation has always been a key topic in finance, but it is evenmore relevant in the case of high-growth ventures because of its impact on raising capital. Equity is the main source of financing for startups, which typically have high potential and few tangible assets. In order to come to an assessment, founders and investors need to determine the value of the business or ‘exchange rate’ of money for shares.
