Tech talk | Valuation is not a negotiation. It is evidence.
What does it take to put a credible value on a technology venture when its future potential is still highly uncertain? Join investor and entrepreneur Martin Studer for a practical session on the particular challenges of valuing tech startups – and how founders can build a valuation they can stand behind.
Rounds take longer to close than they used to, and outside the top deals, tickets are smaller. That makes a price you can stand behind more valuable than ever. Without one, a round can stall until the runway runs out or close on terms that cost founders ownership no later round can restore.
Join Martin Studer for an open session on what makes a valuation defensible and what tech founders can bring to the table to move negotiations forward. Martin has sat on all sides of this table – as an investor, a founder, and a board member who must live with the outcome. He is General Partner and Chairman of Bluerain Partners Group and Co-Founder and Chairman of Trust Exchange, which is currently being incorporated.
