Trusted by 200+ tech companies | $1.4B+ in transactions supported
Independent startup valuations for fundraising, M&A, and strategic planning, grounded in transaction experience across early-stage and growth tech companies.
Finro provides independent startup valuations built for real-world decisions, not theoretical models.
Each engagement combines transaction experience, sector-specific comparables, and practical financial modeling to deliver outputs that hold up in fundraising, M&A discussions, and board-level strategy.
Our work goes beyond producing a number. We evaluate stage, traction, revenue maturity, and investor expectations to create valuations that reflect how deals actually happen in the tech market.
Whether you’re preparing for a funding round, assessing an acquisition, or aligning stakeholders around strategy, the objective stays the same: clear valuation logic that supports confident decisions.

Valuations break when they are built to “look good” instead of to survive diligence. We build the analysis, assumptions, and comps so your valuation can carry real conversations with investors, boards, and acquirers.
We start with what drives value in your business, then translate it into assumptions that are explicit, defensible, and easy to challenge.
Output: clear assumption table and logic trail
Comparable selection is the valuation. We anchor to the right peer set, stage, and business model — not generic category labels.
Output: peer set with rationale and multiple ranges
We model the valuation range across outcomes so you can talk confidently about upside, downside, and what needs to be true.
Output: sensitivity and scenarios tied to key drivers
We pressure-test logic the way an investor, CFO, or corp dev team will. The goal is fewer surprises and faster alignment.
Output: objection-ready narrative and support
Structured for decision-making. Board-ready, investor-ready, and easy to refresh as the story evolves.
Output: valuation memo and structured outputs
We move fast because the process is structured. You get velocity and quality — not “quick and dirty.”
Output: tight timeline and clear working cadence
Different valuation methods apply at different stages. Early-stage companies rely more on assumptions, market comps, and revenue multiples. Later-stage companies introduce cash flow analysis and EBITDA frameworks. Below is a simplified view of two core approaches we use in practice.
The comparables method applies a market approach to valuation by anchoring to similar companies’ revenue or EBITDA multiples. It reflects how investors and acquirers actually price businesses.

Learn more →Most valuation providers deliver a number. Finro builds the financial logic that investors and acquirers can actually challenge, pressure-test, and trust.
We start with the deal context: stage, buyer lens, and what the next party will scrutinize. Then we build the valuation so it holds up in investor and diligence conversations.
Outcome: a defendable valuation narrative and logic trail
Benchmarks are only useful when the peer set is right. We anchor to the right niche, stage, and business model using public comps, private funding context, and M&A datapoints.
Outcome: a peer set you can explain, not just cite
We model valuation ranges across outcomes. You get a clear view of what needs to be true for upside, what drives downside, and which assumptions actually move the result.
Outcome: scenarios tied to key drivers, not hand-wavy sensitivity
Most founders reach out before a funding round, strategic shift, or investor discussion. Start with a short strategy call. You’ll speak directly with Lior, not a sales team.
Since 2014, we’ve supported 200+ tech companies and investors across the US, UK, Europe, and the Middle East. These are the three most common client profiles we see in valuation work.
Raising for the first time, exploring a full sale, or needing internal decision support. Typically requires a valuation you can share with investors or acquirers.
Pre-seed to Series B companies preparing for fundraising, negotiating pricing, or aligning internally. We build defensible valuations across revenue and pre-revenue cases.
VCs, family offices, and PE groups underwriting opportunities and transactions. We test valuation ranges, scenario outcomes, and the assumptions behind growth.
A valuation is only useful if it holds up when someone challenges it. Our process is built to get you a defendable range, clear assumptions, and a deliverable you can actually use in investor, board, or M&A conversations.
We align on the purpose (fundraise, secondary, M&A, internal decision), the audience, and the level of scrutiny to expect.
Output: scope, timeline, inputs list
We translate the business model into explicit drivers (pricing, conversion, retention, margins, CAC, ramp, churn).
Output: assumption table + logic trail
We build the peer set properly (niche, stage, model) and triangulate across public multiples, private context, and M&A datapoints.
Output: comps set with rationale + ranges
We produce a range with scenarios and sensitivities tied to real drivers, then package the result as a shareable output.
Output: memo and/or model, plus handoff call
Most projects run 3 to 5 weeks, depending on complexity, data readiness, and whether it’s for fundraising or a transaction.
Typically: historical P&L (and cash flow if available), current cap table, deck, KPIs, pricing, pipeline, and your plan/forecast assumptions.
Yes. Pre-revenue valuations rely heavily on assumptions, comparables, and scenario ranges. The key is making the assumptions explicit and defensible.
A clean valuation output you can share, usually a valuation presentation or memo, and supporting comps and assumptions. If needed, we can also provide a model.
We match on niche, stage, business model, growth profile, and unit economics. “Same category” is not enough.
If you share your stage and goal, we’ll tell you what approach fits and what we would need to deliver a defendable result.
Typical next step: a 15 to 20 minute strategy call.
