Venture Capital and Startup Company Valuations

Oct 6

Hi Welcome to ValuationPodcast.com - A podcast and video series about all things related to business and valuation. My name is Melissa Gragg, and I am a company valuation expert in St. Louis Missouri.

I have the privilege of discussing Venture Capital and Startup Company Valuations today with Lorenzo Carver, a valuation expert in Boulder, Colorado.

Welcome Lorenzo!!

So you actually wrote a valuation book called Venture Capital Valuation and have recently co-founded a company – Brainsprays.com – which is an educational tool for children using Alexa.

1. Can you tell us about your experience as an entrepreneur and starting various businesses?

2. What is a start-up business – from a valuation perspective?

3. What are some of the different stages of venture capital funding from a start-up company perspective?

4. Do you need a formal valuation if you are seeking funding or raising capital?

5. What is a 409A Valuation and when is it needed?

6. Can you really value a business with no revenue?

7. Can you tell us more about Brainsprays.com and how parents can use this tool with Alexa to help children with math and reading skills?
