Date: Thursday, 30 January 2020
Time: From 16:00 to 17:00 (UK 15:00-16:00)
Location: GoToWebinar, Online
Delivered by Invest Horizon in partnership with EBN, this webinar addresses both mainstream methodologies for valuing reasonably established smaller firms and also useful strategies to use when selling equity to investors before your business is generating consistent revenues – including innovative firms taking new technologies to market.
Valuation at early stages requires a blend of quantitative and qualitative negotiation techniques, often spread over several investment rounds. Areas to be covered will include estimating markets or other key drivers in the absence of hard data and presenting your case in terms that are most likely to be understood by angels and seed funds.
What will be covered:
• Mainstream valuation techniques
• Strategies for mitigating gaps in key information
• Basic negotiation approaches.
