For pre-revenue startups, some investors do not trust the revenue projections 5 years into the future. To overcome this challenge, these investors use a scorecard valuation method to value pre-revenue startups.
This method compares the target company to angel-funded startup ventures and adjusts the average valuation of recently funded companies in the region to establish a pre-money valuation of the target. Following are the few steps in this method:
I. Research for the average pre-money valuation of pre-revenue companies in the same region and same industry.
Pre-money valuation varies with the economy and with the competitive environment for startup ventures within a region. In most regions, the pre-money valuation does not vary significantly from one business sector to another.
II. Evaluate the start up on the following 7 critical factors and their weightage accordingly.
III. Then assign a rating usually in the range of say 0.5 to 1.5 with 1 as a base for the normal requirement and arrives at the weighted average rating of the start-up.
IV. Multiply the rating factor with the average valuation
