What is your company worth and could you defend that number in a negotiation?
If you're raising capital, selling your business, or considering an acquisition, your valuation can influence decisions involving substantial amounts of money.
But a convincing number isn't necessarily a credible one.
Investors want to understand the assumptions. Buyers want to assess the risks. Business owners need to know what drives their company's value.
That's where professional valuation makes a difference.
At ValuationLab, I help founders, investors, and business owners turn financial information into a structured assessment of business value.
My services include:
→ Business & startup valuation for fundraising, ownership decisions, and exits
→ DCF analysis to estimate intrinsic value
→ Comparable company analysis to benchmark market valuations
→ Financial modeling & forecasting to test business assumptions
→ M&A valuation support to evaluate potential transactions
→ Sensitivity analysis to identify the assumptions that matter most
With 15+ years of financial analysis experience, a CFA charter, and valuation experience dating back to 2017, I bring a rigorous, data-driven approach to understanding what a business may be worth.
Don't enter an important financial negotiation without understanding the numbers behind your valuation.
📩 Need a valuation for your company, startup, or next investment decision? Message me on Contra to discuss your project.
Let's build a valuation you can explain, defend, and use.
A convincing number is not necessarily a credible one is a line that deserves to be on your homepage. The gap between the two is usually the assumptions, as you say, and the founder who can walk through them calmly is the one who wins the negotiation.
Thant is another aspect. Simply, the better the preparation, the better the outcome.

How do you usually define the ICP with a new client? In my experience the first week goes faster when the client names three accounts they'd love to close and you work backwards from what those have in common.
Founders: before spending $50K on development
Make sure you have these five things clear:
• MVP scope
• User journey
• Technical architecture
• Development roadmap
• Launch strategy
A lot of software projects fail because development starts before these decisions are made.
At M TECHUB LLC, we can help with discovery, prototyping, development, launch, and ongoing engineering.
Building something this quarter? I’m always interested in meeting founders working on serious products.
Would add a sixth before the $50K: a clear one line of who it is for and why they would switch. Scope and architecture go wrong fastest when that line is still fuzzy, because every feature request sounds reasonable.
