Transparent financial calculations
While financial projections are uncertain for early stage companies, they provide a valuable window into the economics of a startup, and the future revenue-generating potential. Our quantiative methods add this perspective to the valuation.

Quantitative valuation methods like discounted cash flow models (DCFs) are a staple of private market valuation, but are notoriously difficult to apply to startups. We address this by automating the process of collecting the range of parameters involved (discount rates, multiples, growth rates), and guiding founders to develop financial projections that are a coherent reflection of their future vision.

In addition to calculating many of the fields automatically, Equidam can also suggest inputs for depreciation and amortization, interest, taxes, receivables, payables and inventory based on research on industry averages. Our goal is to get you to a solid and reasonable forecast as quickly as possible.
