Startup Valuation

Definitions

1. The estimated value assigned to a startup in fundraising or transaction contexts, often influenced by growth potential, comparables, market conditions, and investor appetite more than current cash flow. Startup valuations can move sharply because uncertainty is high and narratives matter.

   In plain English: The estimated value of a startup when investors or buyers price it.

   Example: "The startup valuation looked rich until the public comps reset the whole sector."
