Startup Valuation Calculator
One valuation number is a guess; five methods are a position. Score Berkus and Scorecard, set the VC method’s exit and return, apply your revenue multiple, discount your cash flows — then read the range and the weighted blend. Every figure comes from your inputs. The calculator supplies no market medians or industry multiples, so nothing here is invented on your behalf.
How this is calculated
- Berkus
- Five qualitative factors — sound idea, prototype, team, strategic relationships, rollout or sales — each scored up to a configurable maximum (default $500,000). Value = the sum of the five scores.
- Scorecard
- Your comparable median pre-money × Σ(weight % × factor score), across team, opportunity size, product, competition, marketing, need for investment and other. You supply the median; default weights are editable.
- VC method
- Post-money = (expected exit value ÷ target return multiple) × (1 − expected future dilution). Pre-money = post-money − investment.
- Revenue multiple
- ARR × your multiple. $1.2M ARR × 6 = $7.2M.
- DCF
- Σ(cash flow ÷ (1 + r)^year) plus a terminal value of final cash flow × (1 + g) ÷ (r − g), discounted back. Requires the terminal growth rate g below the discount rate r.
- Range and blend
- The range is the min and max across computed methods. The blend weights each computed method by your editable weights, renormalised. A method with incomplete inputs is excluded — never counted as zero.
Planning estimate — not financial or legal advice. The calculator supplies no market data: comparables, medians and multiples are yours.
