November Lunch & Learn: Valuation Workshop

  • UAlbany Innovation Center 1220 Washington Avenue Albany, NY 12226 United States (map)

Our November Lunch and Learn topic, “Valuing Early-Stage Businesses and Intangible Assets" is tailored specifically for startup founders and entrepreneurs seeking to understand the complex world of business valuation in its formative stages. We’ll be joined by experienced professionals from KPMG, a global leader in accounting and advisory services, who will delve into the core principles and practical considerations of valuing early-stage ventures, which often lack the traditional financial history of mature companies. 

Learn and understand the unique challenges and methods involved in valuing startups, including the significant role of intangible assets—such as intellectual property —that often drive a young company's worth. KPMG experts will break down key valuation frameworks, offer real-world examples, and discuss the latest industry standards and techniques to help founders communicate their value to potential investors and stakeholders confidently. 

The session will cover topics such as leveraging comparable company analysis, recent transactions, discounted cash flow analysis, and incorporating qualitative factors to build a robust, credible valuation. This workshop will provide founders with an opportunity to ask questions and gain actionable insights to develop better valuations.
