Startup represents a new business idea by an entrepreneur who is aiming to transform an idea (project) into a viable commercial activity. Originative startups are defined with tremendous growth potential which implicates enough liquidity in the early years of life to portion of finance development against collateralizable assets. This is unappealing for traditional banks which are very often restored by venture capital or private equity funds. These intermediaries diversified portfolio is grounded on the strategy of a multi-year exit with substantial expected increases in value from investments.

Generally, the valuation methods mentioned in this paper are based on a company’s financial metrics and assets.
Although, there are several valuation methodologies of valuation study Venture Capitalists factor into investment decisions that are attained from company financial statements and projections or a thorough understanding of the business and market. These elements are supposed to be derived within a company’s valuation as derived using the methodologies above, but they can be difficult to predict and quantify. The recommendation is that companies layer these considerations on top of any quantitative valuation analysis they perform. – zaključila je Anja.
