Before you raise, sell, buy, or invest, know what you're actually paying for.
A valuation isn't just for reporting.
It's a tool for making better financial decisions.
If you're a founder, you need to know how much equity you're giving away.
If you're selling, you need to understand what your business can realistically command.
If you're acquiring, you need to know whether the price creates value.
If you're investing, you need to know whether the market price makes sense relative to intrinsic value.
That's why I build valuations around the economics behind the number:
→ DCF & intrinsic value → Comparable companies → Financial forecasting → Free cash flow → ROIC & reinvestment → WACC & terminal value → Scenario & sensitivity analysis
The objective is simple:
Give you a valuation that is transparent, defensible, and useful for the decision in front of you.
If you're preparing for fundraising, M&A, an exit, equity negotiations, or an investment decision, don't rely on a guess.
📩 Message me on Contra and let's build the valuation your decision deserves.
