It is estimated that 82% of start-ups that fail do so because of cash flow problems, while more than 27% were not able to receive funding. In this panorama, alternative finance providers become essential and the correct company valuation is critical for succeeding in the process of fund raising. However, start-ups are very difficult to value. Unlike valuing companies with revenues, assets and longer track records there is no agreed upon standards for start-ups. Thanks to FAIR VALUE, investors and startups will have a market standard tool for startup valuation which solves all the previously mentioned problems. In addition, FAIR VALUE will enable social benefits such as more job opportunities and the fostering of innovation in our communities.
