How to Value a Startup

Whether you want to invest in a startup, or you are a startup looking to raise capital, valuation is often one of the hardest things to work out. It isn't straightforward, and there isn't a black and white answer as to what is the right number.

For a startup business, many people think that valuation is just an art, but in reality, there is a reasonable amount of science involved as well (if done properly).

Come and learn about valuing startups, what impacts valuations and look at a few case studies. Our highly qualified presenters are Adrian Bunter - Committee, Sydney Angels and Ben Wright – Chief Innovation Officer & Head of Investment Strategy, Cicada Innovations
