Qualitative methods capture intangibles
Early stage & pre-revenue companies cannot be valued on financials alone. Our proprietary combination of financial and qualitative methods is perfect for valuing companies from idea to IPO.
Built for early stage
Qualitative methods tackle early-stage uncertainty by analysing verifiable characteristics of the team, market, and business model
Private market data
Private market data from Crunchbase™ provide benchmark valuations, tailored to stage and region and editable if needed.
Backed by research
Research-backed risk factors relating to startup success shape the underlying calculation of these methods.

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.
As a part of completing a valuation on Equidam, you will be asked to fill out a simple financial projections template — covering a minimum of three years. 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.
Industry leading benchmarks, for context and confidence
Test your assumptions against historical valuation data and the projected financial performance of companies in your peer-group. Demonstrate to investors how your startup compares against the market, and why.
