How this calculator works
Startup valuation is part science, part negotiation. The most common methods are revenue multiple (for high-growth companies) and EBITDA multiple (for profitable businesses). Multiples vary by sector and growth rate — a SaaS company growing 100% YoY commands 15× ARR; a stable services firm might get 2× revenue.
Valuation = ARR × Revenue multiple (sector + growth adjusted) | EBITDA valuation = EBITDA × sector multiple | Average of both gives midpoint estimate

Multiples are negotiated
The multiple is a starting point. Team quality, market size, competitive moat, and investor demand all push it up or down.
Grow before raising
Every 10% improvement in revenue growth typically adds 1–2× to your revenue multiple. Delay raising if you can 2× revenue first.
Valuation ≠ worth
A high valuation creates future pressure — you must grow into it. Raising at 20× ARR means you need 20× more ARR to justify it.
