It is a truism in the venture finance industry that valuing early-stage companies is more of an art than a science, especially when it comes to those at the very beginning of their journey. But, of course, for all the difficulty it involves, company valuation forms a crucial part of any startup’s or scale-up’s life, from the perspective of both the entrepreneur and the investor.

The session will cover the importance of portfolio strategies and the role of portfolio returns in the valuation process. Understanding a proper strategy will also help entrepreneurs to properly manage their expectations and gain insight as to why investors value deals the way they do.
