Understanding your startup’s valuation is a fundamental when it comes to fund raising and selling your startup. But fundraising is still a mystery to most of us. How does one put a price on a company that is newly created or still hasn’t reached it’s maturity.

What metrics do we use to value a company? In this two hour workshop, we aim to introduce you to the science and the art behind startup valuation helping you truly understand the methodologies you can use to value your company. We will discuss some examples in the fintech space, techniques and practice valuation modeling as well.
