Course Content
Negotiating the current valuation of seed-stage startups at the time of investment is a critical component of the fundraising process. Getting valuation right establishes a fair percentage of ownership for both investors and entrepreneurs and optimizes returns for investing angels. This course introduces participants to startup valuation and demonstrates multiple valuation methodologies. In addition to valuation methods, the lead instructor will provide insights into the impact of stage of development, geographic location, business sector and the global economy on startup valuation. The program leaves attendees with an exercise to help hone their newly acquired valuation skills by using these valuation methods in appraising a case study company.
This event is offered at no cost to participants because of a prize awarded to the Western New York Venture Association from “Springboard”, a competition that provides cash prizes to organizations that help grow the entrepreneurial landscape in Buffalo-Niagara, the Rochester region, and the Southern Tier.
